I wanted to express my sincere sympathy in the the loss of your loved one. I am the daughter of Thelma Parks who attended church with Wanda, but, moreso, they were best friends. My prayer is that you may be comforted knowing that she is in no pain and is up walking around today, the best part, she has won the fight, the battle is over and now she is claiming her reward. May God wraps his arms around all of you and may you feel his presence with you during this difficult time. She was truly a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. God Bless all of you!

Tammy, I was so sorry to hear that your mother had passed away. I will always have fond memories of her, you, and Wayne as our neighbors and friends when we were kids. Oh, the stories we could tell! Just remember that, though you will miss your mother greatly, she really is in a far better place now. May God comfort and strengthen you and the rest of the family.
