Larry and I were so sorry to learn of Wanda's passing. We knew her from Westside, and Jim Buckles is my first cousin by marriage. At least she is in no more pain, and is with her Heavenly Father. She will be missed.

Dear Angie and Pastor Brad, we send you our deepest condolences on the passing of Angie's Mom. We know how much you will miss her. She must have been a very special lady. Be comforted that her suffering is over, and her rejoicing with our Savior is forever. You will see her again one day. What a legacy of love she wrapped her loved ones in. It is forevermore yours to feel, anytime you wish. May God comfort you, as only He can, both now and in time to come.
