Arvo, Kevin, Kendall, and Kristine, I was shocked, I had just had an email from Wendy recently. I spent the day thinking about her and all of the funny times in Savant Lake. She was one in a million. She down played her illness and said she had a lung condition, but never complained. I didn't realize how serious it was until I found out what she had. I will remember all of the laughs we had at the store and motel in Savant Lake. Wendy will always have a place in my heart. Regards, Sandy Smith - Posted by: Sandy Smith (Friend) on: Jul 21, 2008
