    I just learned of Wanda's passing. We were neighbors and she did our taxes for many years. She made doing taxes fun honestly as we enjoyed visiting with her and Wesley very much. Sorry for your loss. 💜

    So sorry to hear of Wanda's passing. She did my taxes for years and was always a joy to visit with her. I worked at Lamy's and remember when Cathy was there. I also have great-grandchildren going to Tisha's preschool. God bless you all. Lucy Akeman

    So many memories passes through my mind, from early age to the present...in our youth , being cousins, we spent many long hours together from walking in ditches in the rain, playing in the hot summer time and fun in the snow,,,we put on pet shows, singing shows for all the neighborhood children to take part in....growing up in East Sedalia, we may have been poor but in family love very rich...as we got older we enjoyed spending time together but each of us kind of went our separate ways...in the last few years Wanda and I renewed our love and friendship spending time going out to lunch, visiting all the family cemeteries , and revisiting old memories..I will greatly miss her and have an empty place in my heart...rest in peace and one day we will meet again.,your youngest cousin,Margie
