Dear Wendy
Wow, another birthday , are we really getting that old? L Perhaps but loving it with friends like you! Your darling daughter wanted to have us all write an experience we have had with you through the years. There are many but a couple stuck out in my mind, not including all the warm thoughts and your loving smile!
The first is both serious and funny. You were riding with me (I think it was a LP Grant ). On the way back we were talking about your cancer and what you had gone through. I was in awe of your strength and how you were handling the whole ordeal. We started talking about your next steps and just what those should be. I was amazed how positive and calm you were; your handling the whole thing with such grace! As I pulled up to your house, you said, “Take a look!” … before I could say anything, you pulled up your shirt. It really took us out of the building seriousness; we both started laughing. You took something somber and turned it into joy. I thought, “Wow! Wendy is great! So down to earth and always looks for the silver lining!
The second is your 40th birthday. I was so happy and privileged to be invited. I looked for forward to it for some time. It was over-the-top fun and so creative. It was overflowing with your personality. I loved sharing and spending that special day, and I hope we can spend many more together.
My other memories include you always trying to let me know my kids would be alright, and how they would find their way … I loved those talks! You always made me feel better about things when I was down.
Cheers to a wonderful birthday all the best – lots of Hugs and kisses!!
Xoxo
