I want to say that I've known Wanda since I was 14 years old. I remember this one time I was dancing in your kitchen with Lynda And we were dancing the mashed potato using mashed potato mashers and you just laughed.. Wanda was one of the nicest people....... I used to take care of her many times when her daughter had to do things. And now she's home with her husband and her son probably doing the mashed potato Always thinking of you Cheryl Walker
Sorry for your loss.... keeping you in my thoughts
I have known you since I was 14 yrs old. I remember one time dancing with Lynda in her mom's kitchen doing the mash potato, while holding potato mashers. And her mom laughed. Wanda was the nicest person, I also took care of her when Lynda had things to get done. She is now home with her husband and son.... Always thinking of you Cheryl walker
Wanda is my Aunt and a beautiful soul. She gave me many fond memories as a child.Riding in the back of the station wagon on the way to misquamicut beach. Drinking some of the best coffee I ever had out of the thermos she had brought. The hike along the river and the time we came across the biggest snapping turtle I have ever seen. Also the many sleepovers.Rest In Peace Auntie Wanda
I first met Wanda when she was 93 years young and I immediately noticed her sweet disposition and kind heart. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. Wanda loved learning about modern technology, especially the smart phone as I used to tell her it was called and she became even more excited when she learned about YouTube & discovered we could watch and listen to Polka videos right from a phone. As I showed her what we use today, she showed me what it meant to have a truly open heart. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I will always admire and remember her. Wanda loved with all her heart.
