So sorry to hear of Mrs. Wanda's passing. She and Mr. Conway have been part of the community and family for a long time. Childhood memories would not be the same without them. I still miss seeing them at WalMart too.

Wanda has a special place in my heart. She and Conway (dad’s cousin)introduced my parents on a blind date many years ago. They were all 4 great friends and had many fun times together.
I had a sweet conversation with her this summer. I’m so glad I got one more call from her!
