Thank you Sis

I will miss her
So sorry to hear of the passing of Wanda I remember her when she was just a child and would come to the old Kwik Chek store with her Mom. Her brother Dennis sold newspapers there where I worked as a cashier. Then her Mom started attending our church the First Assembly of God with her children. Our prayers and Love are with the whole family at this time.

Goodbye Big sis. I love you, Gonna miss you alot, but I know I`ll see you again.
I wasn’t looking when God crossed our paths and we fell in love. You became my best friend and gave me a reason for loving again. I will miss you the rest of my years in this world but will rejoice forevermore when we meet once again in heaven. I look forward to and long for that day.

My Moo was the most improtant person and influence in my life. I know that now she is in a better a place and she doesn’t hurt anymore.MY heart aches to know that I will never again see her or hear her voice in this life. But I know one day I will see my Mommy and get to hear her comforting voice telling me that she loves me. Mommy I love you ,we will be together again until then I will make you proud as I make my way through this life.I will never let you down.Love your Son
Christopher, Tom and Family
We are so sorry for your loss. Hold the happy memories of Wanda close to your heart. You are in our prayers.
In a family chock full of boys, you were our baby sisser. You may have changed my diapers, but you were still my baby sisser and I love you. We all love you and miss you very much. Thank you for feeding my video-game and pizza addiction with limitless plays and eats on that Pac Man machine at Godfather’s Pizza. You always knew how to treat a little brother. Wish you were here…
Love Hoser
Tom,
So sorry for your loss. I have to say, the name Wilcox rings a bell. We had a Danny Wilcox in the Lion’s Club when Butch was a member. Is this possibly Wanda’s brother? He would have been about the same age as us, meaning Butch and me or a little younger. Please let me know. I really liked Danny and so did Butch. Just wondering. So sorry for your loss. Praying for you. Love, Butch and Susy Youngless.
Tom,
I am repeating this. Noticed that her brother was Danny Wilcox. Do you know that we knew a Danny Wilcox when we belonged to the Birmingham Lions’ Club. He was a great guy. He lived in a place where Clara told us Gordon could have had that place. Perhaps maybe there is some connection? Anyway we are saddened for your loss and will always be there for your, Cousin.
Love,
Butch and Susy
It seems that God and I had two different plans, I thought you would be here forever and he wanted you back. I am very grateful for all the memories I have, the ones that make me laugh and the ones that make me cry. I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU.
Your Baby Sister – NeNe
P.S. Don’t forget to pull my curls
From The Shocker to my biggest fan. Thanks for all the memories you gave me throughout the years just hanging out and being us. I love you and will miss you.
Chris and Family-
Sorry for your loss and hope you keep her memories close in your hearts. I will miss my second mother more than you know.
wanda was on our nielsen team for years…she was fun…very good at her work…and just a sweet person…she will be missed
Wanda always had a friendy smile and warm eyes. The world could use more people like Wanda who’s faith was an example to others. Tom my prayers are with you.
My thoughts are with you. So sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tragic time. If you need anything at all let me know.
Chris and Family,
I have only met your mother a few times but when we talked she was always so full of life. I know she is very proud of you and all you do.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Mom II
Tom and family,
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Wanda at Nielsen’s and missed her very much when she left. I was shocked to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Danny, Rene, and Tim,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
You wonder sometimes why God brings people into your lives. Their lives touch yours and some of them in special ways. Wanda was a special lady and touched my life in a way that only she could.
Right now you may be asking, WHY? It is so trite to hear Well, God only knows why. You know that God told us if we have questions He will answer them. I know He will. Meanwhile we must somehow deal with the great void that is in our lives.
May God fill the void in your life left by this loss with His great love peace and joy.
My heart and prayers are with you all. I have many fond memories of Wanda from way back when!
Chris,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Try to remember all the great times you had together with your mom. Hang in there and just pick up the phone if you need anything. You’re like my little red-headed step-brother and I don’t like to see you sad. Adios……………..
Dear Aunt Annie, Dennis, Carl, Joe, Tim, and Christopher,
Aunt Jeannie called me last night with the news about Wanda. My thought and prayers are with you.
I remember playing with Wanda as a child. I always loved her — she was such a joy! I wish I could have known her better. But I will be with her again when we all get to Heaven.
Please call me if I can ever do anything for you. 706 563-7289. I pray God will comfort you as only He can.
Love and Prayers,

Tom is a long time friend from then Lakeland. Wanda and I have been telephone friends for a year. But in the last 6 months Wanda had become more talkative than she had prior to that. And after Tom’s car accident when I would call she would say Tom is in bed and is trying to recover from his accident.
She would continue talking, were months before that, she would just say tom is not here or he’s in bed or whatever and usually “good bye”.
I am glad we were able to talk and be friends, so Tom will not have to introduce us in heaven.
Tom hang in there, we are both “go with the flow” kind of guys and I know you will deal with Wanda’s loss in as positive way as possibe. And it is not as easy at this time of your life. You know I can relate, the last two summers have been tough for me, more than I could have imagined. As we get older things are complicated by our handicaps that inevitably come our way. Try to do it inspite of every thing and pray and we will offer our prayers as well. …..Neil, Debbie, Andrew and Tiffany.
Well, this is a shocking and heart aching experience. I haven’t seen my big sister in over a year and no one even told me she was gone. It fills me with a sadness second to nothing concievable by me. I will miss my loving sister greatly. She was an inspiration and a huge part of who I am today. Your love will always be felt and you will always be in my heart. Until we meet again. Tell dad and god I said hello.
I was in Wanda’s class of ’72 at Clearwater. We had some classes together, then re-established contact over 20 years later through classmates.com. In person, I never saw Wanda without a smile on her face for everyone she came in contact with. She was always cheerful and upbeat, a real joy to be around. Later, her emails conveyed the same personality and always brought a smile to my face. It was also a joy to learn of her committment to the Lord! I will miss her very much and look forward to the day when we meet again in Heaven. God’s blessings to all of her family.
