Dear Lothar, family and friends,
I was so very sad to read of Wendy’s death. I met Wendy when we both started to take bridge lessons at the community college. We had a lot of fun. We continued to meet to have lunch with our little group from bridge a number of times. She was full of life, generous, a great hostess, good cook… Well, there’s so much more.
She will be missed. You have my deepest sympathy.

I am saddened to learn of Wendy’s death. I met her when I was working at B’nai Abraham Synagogue back in 2009-10. She was a lovely lady. I am glad that I was fortunate to meet her. Relish the memories you have of your life together…Elaine

Dear Lothar,
So sorry to hear of Wendy’s passing. Even though I had the privilege of meeting her a few times, she certainly impressed me as a person who enjoyed life, caring and most of all, cherished her love for you.
With my deepest sympathy and prayers that the loving years and memories you shared will help, in some way, to ease the grief of her loss.

Lothar, I was so sorry to hear of Wendy’s passing.
I had hoped that at some point I could have golfed with both of you. I guess you should never put off opportunities to get together with friends. You have my deepest sympathies and prayers. I’m sorry that I can’t make the service. but know that my thoughts are with you.
Sincerely your friend always,
Bob Yapsuga
