Connie, I am so sorry for the passing Aunt Wanda. Although I was never able to spend much time with either her or Onnie, my mother always tells me such wonderful stories. Mom loved Wanda so dearly. Our prayers go out to you. Beth Gunter-Woods, Duane & Sydney.
Connie, Please know our hearts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Your Mom touched many lives and we are all better persons for having known her. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Connie Lynn You won’t remember me but I am your first cousin from WV. Luther was my dad which would be Onnie’s younger brother. I just read Wanda’s obituary in the local paper and was so sad to see that she had passed on. I have very warm memories of their visits to WV. They were always very good to me. I also remember Granny Halsey always had your beuatiful picture displayed and they were very proud of their family in Colo.
I will pray for you and yours in your time of sorrow. May God grant you peace in this difficult time. Terri Lynn Halsey Muscari
We will miss you dearly, Wanda.
