Wanda was a childhood friend of mine. We went to school together, rode motorcycles together, lots of fun pooltime, vacations together, etc. I thank facebook that I had the priviledge to reconnect with her and talk and laugh about all the fun times. She was a wonderful lady that loved her family dearly. She told me that God was her lord and saviour, another beautiful angel at home! May God bless her family during this difficult time. Sincerely, Susan Lumpkin
