I didn't get a chance to visit with you as a family yesterday, but please know that I have great and fond memories of Wanda Sue. A fellow 1972 graduate of Watertown High School I so much enjoyed meeting her, getting to know her, and our friendship. She was a very smart and talented lady and she will be missed. While I didn't get to see her much over the last few years, when we saw each other she was the same sweet girl I have known for over 50 years. Wanda's family is in my prayers and be thankful for the many memories you have. I will.

May God give comfort to her family during this time of loss and sorrow.

Elder James R. & Evangelist Cliffordene Brooks

Wanda Sue will definitely be missed by her family, friends and loved ones. I pray that God comfort you in your time of sorry. The bible says that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Wanda is not in any pain anymore. I have known Wanda Sue my entire life. Wanda was two years older than I. She graduated from high school as one of two students that were honor students. She was voted most likely to succeed in high school. She had a God given talent of singing and praising the Lord. I know she wrote at least one gospel song that God gave to her. I was her pastor for two years and will always treasure the Spirit of Wanda Sue. I pray that we lift our eyes and look to the hills from whence cometh our help. We know that our help comes from the Lord. I pray that we trust in God in all that we go through.
