It is with deepest sympathy that I write these words. May God be your rock of strength during this most difficult time. Although I have only had the pleasure of meeting Mark & Wendy, and not having the opportunity to truly know them, I do know of their character and the love they shared together. Give praise for the life she lived and the lives she so genuinely touched. Lean upon not your own knowledge and understanding, but that of the Lord! Heaven gained another angel! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
