Wendy was a true friend to our whole family, a friendship that transcended time and space, from our early childhood in Edmonton to young adulthood in Montreal and thence to various cities beyond over the decades. When next we met after years, it was like we had never parted.
Odd what strikes one and stays in the memory; as a child how I coveted her beautiful mukluks, works of functional art, that her dad had brought back from his travels as a bush pilot. And as an adult she was the only person I knew that could open up a sheet of music she’d never seen before and play it on the piano. She was a confident, capable woman with a kind and loving spirit.
We are so lucky that she chose us and that we got to share in this wonderful woman’s life. My sympathy to all of Wendy’s family and friends at this sad time of mourning her loss.
