My Sincere condolences. I was very heartbroken I couldn't be there in person but I was happy I could watch it live. You three did an amazing job. Your mama would be proud. I just wanted to say that y'all made me cry and laugh and then cry again. The music was beautiful and the last one I heard was Queen before the live stream was cut off. It was nice to see the family and her friends come to pay tribute. She was one of a kind I will always think of her.
I had the pleasure of having Wanda as one of my employees for several years. I could always count on her to show up, be on time and to always work when she was here. Sounds pretty basic but not many folks could maintain all three, all the time. As a bonus, she was always a positive person to be around. She enjoyed a good joke and always wanted to share. It was my pleasure to know her and work with her. She made her little slice of the world a better place - we are going to miss you, Wanda.

Wanda was so much fun. I had the pleasure of working around her for 7 years. She was more than just a coworker, she was a friend. I never got to eat the fried chicken I and Donny talked to her about. Ms Wanda, you will always have a special place in my heart. Go rest high on that mountain. -Dave
