Lastly, the family would like to give a special recognition to Wanda's sister-in-law, Glenda Martin. She took the time everyday to check on our mother and to make sure she was well taken care of. Glenda went above and beyond in all areas of our mom's life. The family will be eternally thankful for all the personal attention given.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of our dear and special friend, Ms. Wanda. We’ve enjoyed happy times and sad times together. Her laugh was very contagious. Have had some yummy dumplins and fried pies made by her hands and her heart.
Our love and prayers for comfort for all her family...

Our deepest sympathies to the family. Aunt Tot was a special lady. She made the BEST chicken and dumplings!!!! I remember spending many summers with her and Dalton in Kansas City. She treated me just like I was one of her kids.

My heart goes out to all my family members that are heart broken and grieving during this very sad and hard time. Just know you are all loved very much and Aunt Wanda is much happier now. She is with Uncle Dalton but most of all she is up there with her sisters all signing their beautiful hearts out. They always loved to sing together that is something I miss about all of them. I will have you all in my thoughts and prayers and know you have a great big family who all love you very much.

Well sweetie you have completed your journey on this earth. I cherish the times we have spent together. The times I stayed at Pleasant Hill with you and the kids. So many good memories. Then you moved to Mtn. View and we saw each other just about every day until yesterday morning. I tried to get there as quick as I could but you couldn't wait to meet God. Also Dalton, Harold and all of your family and friends. I'm sure going to miss you but I'm so happy for you. Someday sweetie. I love you and you knew it. Signing off now.
