A Dear Friend to so many...
She just loved her family and friends, and we were Blessed to have known this dear one as her friend. She was prolific with her needle, yarn and plastic canvas- my favorite was the "I carry a Cross in my Pocket"; so tiny to actually fit in a pocket , complete with entire poem. She suffered silently, never heard her complain, with an eye on Heaven as her goal. In the photo above, She is the Awana leader on the left, Lynn Mattson, right. How Wanda loved to tell children how to come to Christ as Savior. We are gonna miss her...until we meet again!
We are sorry for the loss of your mom
We can say with so many, Wanda was special to us in so many ways. We will miss her greatly. We continue to pray for you, the family, as you learn to live your life without her. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalms 116:15 What a comforting thought that God loves her so much, that her death is precious in his sight because he can now have her safely at home with Him. May God bring comfort and peace to your heart during this difficult time. Love to all, Pastor Perry & Kathy Stewart
