Wendy lived a life more full than many people, and died too soon. I am thankful she found peace and pray for the same for the rest of her family and loved ones.

Wendy was a great friend to us in high school and later in life. She lived a full life. She was an amazing woman. She will kick up her heels at her new environment, no doubt about it. She was loved by many.
So sorry for your loss Craig. Prayers to you and your family.

My condolences to Wendy’s family. Wendy was my good friend in Bangor high school. We were both horse lovers….at that time she had a Palomino named Tom and we would ride bare back through the woods to our other friend Patty…..such fun. As happens we did not keep in contact which saddens me but I am happy that she had Baltic and a loving family.

We will always remember the good times Wendy brought to life. Tailgating at Penn State, Harley road tripping, and partying with Johnnie Walker. Craig, we are all lucky to have her in our lives.
