Larissa, thank you for posting. I hope you and your family find comfort somewhere through all this.

My sister has COPD. Believe me, I make the attempt to get her to quit smoking every chance I get.

I did not know your Mom, as I was (and still am) new here, but she certainly made me feel welcome when I arrived.

Vaya con dios.

Kansas! Again.
Whereever you went, I hope you got as wonderful of a welcome there as you gave everyone here.

I can't believe I only saw this today.

So, so, so sad. Wendy was a great asset to this place and will be sorely missed by all.

I hope she finds the peace she deserves. She made a lot of people feel welcome.

Translated.
I read the original message in a semi-private area of the site, and I wasn't sure if it was meant to be totally private.

My condolences to her family and friends. Such sadness.

Larissa,

I haven't been here for some time so I missed sending thoughts to your mom during this most difficult time in her life. I would however like to send my thoughts, prayers and belated condolences to you and your family. Your mom will be sorely missed.

CactusWendy was one of the first people I met on the site. I wish her and her family peace in this time.

I just saw this today. I didn't realize CactusWendy was gone. I'm so sorry and thank you, Larissa, for keeping us informed. God bless your family.

Oh no. Though I posted in the early part of this thread I missed the news of her passing. And though I didn't know her all that well I remember her as a beautiful, light presence on this board, one of those people who are just a part of it and give you the warm fuzzies.

I'm late with my condolences but still, my heart goes out to you, Larissa, and all Wendy's loved ones. She was part of our family too!

I tried to post earlier and found I couldn't. *sad*

I didn't know Wendy personally; yet, her warmth was apparent during my visits to AW. She's still missed, all these months later.

Larissa, you and your family continue to be in my thoughts.​

So sorry and sad for our loss, but I loved all the rememberances here.

Cactus Wendy welcomed me to AW and offered many insights and reps along the way. Haven't been here much of late, so I missed seeing this until now.

I do miss you, CW.
