I was so very sorry to hear of Wendy’s passing. I met her many years ago when our kids were in the JFW and she was another leader. My deepest sympathies to you.

I’m so sorry to hear about Wendy. I do feel grateful to have reconnected at the last High River Reunion. Sincere sympathies to her children, Deirdre and Pam.

We are deeply saddened by Wendy’s sudden death. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Nathan, Shauna and Family,

Just to let you know you’re thought of with sympathy and caring. Wendy was a beautiful, fun, intelligent lady, and she will be greatly missed!

Your former neighbours, Carol, Garry, Kevin, and Keith

It is with much sadness that I’m sending my condolences on Wendy’s tragic passing. I met Wendy through the Canadian Celiac Association. She was truly a beautiful woman in every way. My very deepest sympathy at this time.

Anna called to inform me about the tragic and untimely passing of Wendy. It is hard to accept such a thing happening to someone who was so full of life. Our thoughts are with you at this terrible time.

The Krueger family extends our deepest sympathy to the Turnbull family on the untimely passing of Wendy. We had some great times together and fond memories. Wendy was a cheerful and pleasant person who always had time to visit. She was a wonderful cook and it was very obvious that she loved to entertain and was a great hostess. She will be sadly missed.

Our deepest and sincere sympathy to the Turnbull and the Brown Families. I learned from Bonnie H. at Church today about your tragic loss. May your faith sustain you and give you comfort and healing in your time of mourning. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Wendy was a lovely, generous and kind person. She loved her family, her children and little Jack very much and it was an honour for me to be such a close friend to her. To be able to celebrate so many wonderful occasions in Wendy’s life, especially over the last few years has been a blessing in my life. I know that each person who loved Wendy, will miss her very much. She truly was a special woman who will be remembered fondly by many.

We were saddened to learn of Wendy’s untimely death and offer our condolences to all who knew her and especially her family. I replaced Wendy as Vice President when she retired from the board of the Calgary Celiac Association. We became friends and my wife Lois and I were sometimes her assistants in making pancakes at the annual pancake breakfast. The day she was tragically and needlessly killed, I was volunteering information on gluten free food preparation to the Chef of Center Street Church whose café serves a church of 7000 people. He was interested in baking ideas and Wendy’s book immediately came to mind. In honor of Wendy’s kind spirit and selfness volunteerism we are donating a copy of her book and some other materials to Center Street Church cafe.(Ironically, Wendy was killed at the same crosswalk where Lois and I were rear ended by a reckless driver last November while waiting for a mother and baby to cross.)

Our heart felt condolences go out to all of you, the family. We met Wendy through sister Dee, a good friend of ours. We can not imagine what each of you is going through at this time. May God walk with you through the darkness and in time, bring you peace.

We are so sorry that we were not able to attend the celebration of Wendy’s life and to support you but you have been in our hearts and thoughts today.

My deepest sympathy to Wendy’s family on her tragic passing. Wendy and I shared our youth in High River. I will always have very fond memories of our days at High River High School. My thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time.

I was sad to learn of Wendy’s passing. She gave life and energy to those with Celiac Disease and showed us a way to bake with new and different nutrious grains rather than using the “white” flours available to us. She will be missed.

Truly a beautiful, gentle woman. I had the priviledge of being Wendy’s hairstylists and spent many endearing moments with her. I had actually just seen her for our reg. visit. She LOVED to talk about her children — she adored you. She had much wisdom and compassion and we spent many hours together discussing heartfelt matters. I always felt touched by her. To the Turnbull family my heart is so open to all of you. I was blessed to have known Wendy –

Wendy I love you….

Joan

My heartfelt condolences go out to Wendy’s family and friends. She was a wonderful lady. I really enjoyed spending time with her on the board of the Celiac Association, the pancake breakfasts and the occasional group dinner. I will miss her beautiful smile and her contagious laugh. My heart goes out to you at this sad time.

So many people will miss Wendy’s beautiful smile and kind heart. I have known Wendy for many years and will remember her with sadness for a life taken far too soon but also with a smile for a life well lived.

Dear Shauna & Nathan: I can’t tell you how sad I was to hear of your mom’s tragic passing. She just was here in Lethbridge to visit in December. We hadn’t seen each other in over 40yrs but have always stayed in contact, so when she called that she wanted to see me was a wonderful surprise. We went through our LPN training together and lived together for 2 yrs. I have many lovely memories of her friendship. Please accept my condolences

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Wendy Turnbull from her adopted family Jeanette Veale and Leif Karlsson

Our heartfelt condolences to the Brown and Turnbull families. Wendy will be remembered as a wonderful sister to Dee and a cherished aunt by Don’s children.

To all of Wendy’s family – Please accept our deepest sympathy at this most difficult time. We knew Wendy as a bridge player, an author and a cook and a friend. Her ever-positive attitude and cheerful smile will always be remembered.

We were shocked to hear of Wendy’s tragic accident! To her whole family it must seem unreal and over whelming. We will never forget her smile and her kind and giving spirit. To the whole family we offer our prayers and deepest condolences.

Our sincere condolences to Nathan,Kirsten and Shauna at the untimely passing of your Mother. We remember her smiling face and cheerful ways. We are thinking of you at this sad time.

Barrie and Carol

To Wendy’s family – I am so sorry to learn of Wendy’s death. I met her through a mutual friend and will remember her as a bright spark of kindness, creativity and warmth. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

I remember Wendy when I worked at Living Spirit. She would come in to water the flowers. I remember when her book was published too. She was a blessing to many and will be missed greatly. Sympathies to her family as she remains in their hearts.

Please accept our heartful sympathy as you mourn the death of Wendy and take good care of yourselves and of each other as you celebrate this special woman’s life.

We were very, very sad to hear the news about this accident and Wendy’s passing. Wendy and my mom were very good friends up until my mother passed away from breast cancer almost 14 years ago. We have kept in touch with her over the years and will miss her. She was always interested in what was happening in our lives and happy for us as we have celebrated milestones over the years. In fact, I have a message saved on my phone from last Thursday from her wondering how we are doing and checking in on me as I am due to have a baby in the next few weeks. She was a very good friend to our family. Wendy, we will miss your kind heart and loving spirit very much.
