My condolences to Wanda’s family. I’ve known Wanda and Phillip since childhood. We shared cousins ( the Thomas’) and she felt like a cousin to me. Now she is with the Great Physician. Hod bless.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Wanda was a special lady. She was kind and caring and treated everyone like family. She and Mike opened their hearts and home to anyone in need. She was truly one of a kind and will be missed by many. She impacted more lives than she would ever know. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace Wanda.

Wanda and I had daughters one day apart in 1978. Our rooms were exactly across the hall from each other. Our daughters grew up sharing a lot of the same family members and remain as close as sisters this very day. I know we will see that beautiful smile again when we see her in heaven. My prayers & love go out to the friends and family of Wanda as there is a hole in each of our hearts. Margie Long

I will FOREVER be thankful for the moments we shared as you helped me dress before walking down the aisle to meet my sweet husband that loves you almost as much as I do. Aunt Wanda I’ll always cherish the impact you made in my life and will always remember the smallest moments that have always meant so much! I love you and I’ll miss you more than some will understand. Go rest high on that mountain- we’ve got it from here 💜

Wanda you always wanted to be a good Christian. Well, you were. You were sweet, kind, generous, loving, patient, loyal, dependable, a great friend and cousin, quick witted, friendly and you were so loved. I will miss you but not as much as your broken hearted Husband, children, brother, grands & great-grands and so many other family members and friends. We love you!! We'll meet in Heaven.
