Wanda – to have met and known you as a special friend is a memory I will cherish forever. We met in 2016, through our sons, and the bond we two shared grew closer with each passing year. We attended the beach together many times, a cruise, amusement parks, lunches and just overall enjoyed each other’s company. Wanda, I miss you dearly. Words cannot express the love that I have for you, not as just a friend, but a sister.
I thank GOD for introducing me to you. My life has become so much better because it was shared with YOU.
Rest now, your pain is over. You come from a loving family, and they will keep your legacy forever, as will I :).
I offer our deepest condolences from the Hubbard family. Willie and Winne along with their family moved next door to my parents in the late 70’s, Wanda’s final year at Oak Ridge High School. Since I was moving out at that time, I really didn’t get to know Wanda very well. I got to know her much better because of her son Kameron. Anytime I visited my parents’ home, and Wanda and him were at grandma’s (Winnie), he would come a running. Wanda was a special person that her family and anyone who got to know her will truly miss..
My sincere sympathy and deepest condolences to the family of a beautiful soul Wanda! Although it’s been many years since we met and became friends during our High School years and since I last visited with you in the Atlanta area I will hold your memory as a blessing! Sleep in peace my friend Wanda and may your eternal hope in Jesus provide a sense of comfort and peace to all that knew and loved you!
