    My Dear Kandy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom was always very dear to me in all I learned from her as a Girl Scout and friend. Wanda was a wonderful mentor and leader who shared her knowledge selflessly. I never ran into her without seeing her joyous smile and feeling so cared for. May God Bless you Kandy and may He receive your momma into His arms. I pray your memories bring you comfort always. With love, Trisch
