To the best grandmother a kid could have. You are the most loving and caring person. I remember all the times I spent with you in California like it was yesterday. I enjoyed all the things we did, like going to Alcatraz and seeing San Francisco and the mountain house with the coldest pool water ever. You are in a better place and with jumbo. I will always love you. Love your grandson Jason

Grandma, We will all miss you terribly, but we know that you are no longer suffering and that you've been reunited with Jimbo. I have so many great memories with you and I will share every one of them with Khloe. You were one of Khloe's favorite people in the world and I am so thankful you guys got to spend time together. I love you so much and I will miss you forever!

Wanda, I miss your warm and loving smile when you greeted me at your house. We sang hymns together. You loved music and I was able to play violin for you. Our church greatly appreciate your big heart that made the Oglesby-Close Hall renovation. Because of your heart for ministry through music, we are still using the Oglesby-Close Hall for Christmas Carol Sing and Sunday services. Thank you

Wanda, you were a treasured member of our church. Your generosity in sharing your mountain home gave us a beautiful, peaceful setting for our choir retreats. I always looked forward to those getaways. We will miss you on Sundays, with your warm smile and open spirit.
