Our very sincere sympathy on the loss of dear Wendy.
She will be so missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Love to Peter and the whole family from Judy and Andrew Miller
Our dear neighbour & friend Wendy was a truly kind, loving and generous spirit.
Wendy walked with me and our two dogs regularly and during these walks we solved the world’s problems.
We talked about writing a book giving agony aunt & sage advice to those who needed setting straight……. Oh we talked non-stop and what laughs we had.
Andrew and I will never forget the ‘Wendy packs’ where Wendy would arrive for afternoon tea with her freshly made scones, jam & cream…. more chatting & more laughter.
Wendy was always cheerful, loved her family dearly, a great supportive friend, a community minded person who would help out whenever she could.
A great friend has passed over but the love she gave and the person she was will always be remembered fondly and with a huge smile & sense of warmth.
We send our condolences to her entire family.
The most sweetest, thoughtful, bravest & loveliest person I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
Wendy was a beautiful soul that will be missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to know her.
Those we love don’t go away;
they walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed, and very dear.
Rest peacefully beautiful, kind and caring Aunty Wendy 💐💐
We remember Wendy with fondness.
She will be greatly missed.
Love to all the family.
– Doug and Helena. xx
I was very fortunate to be a good friend of lovely Wendy in high school.
I moved away 42 years ago, but hadn’t kept in touch.
I often thought of her through the years and am happy to see she had such a loving family and friends to share her beautiful life.
A song/verse for Wendy…
The peace of the Earth be with you,
The peace of the Heavens too.
The peace of the rivers be with you,
The peace of the oceans too.
Deep peace falling over you,
God’s peace growing in you.
Sending love to all of you.
– Valerie Gage
