sends her sincere condolences and commiserates with Doug, who is familiar to me through Wendy’s conversation about her beloved husband, and all the family for their immense loss. With blessings.
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Wendy’s death. I still cannot believe that such a vibrant personality, so loved by so many, has left us. Tears are streaming down my face as I write this–Wendy was simply the best secretary Mount Royal University ever had. I loved her.
My heart goes out to her family and close friends at this tragic time.
So sorry I can’t attend the Saturday service but unfortunately I will be in Vancouver.

I was so sorry to read about Wendy’s passing. I have such fond memories of her during our time raising teenagers together. Wendy was so caring and giving. I appreciate how wonderful Wendy was and so helpful during difficult times( like the loss of my mom). My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Wendy was a amazing mom, wife, neighbor and friend.
Doug, I am greatly saddened to hear of your terrible loss. I am sorry I could not join you, your family, friends and colleagues yesterday to celebrate Wendy’s life. I am making a donation to Cystic Fibrosis Canada in memory of Wendy.
Doug, Alana and Jonathan:
Neil and I were very sadden to read about Wendy’s passing. We have very fond memories of her (and in fact all of you), from the years Simon and Jonathan played hockey together, which seems such a long time ago now. We send you all our sympathy and best wishes.

Dear Doug,
Bill told me about your wife’s unfortunate passing. You are fortunate to have a loving family and close friends for support at this time. I know that it takes a long time for the grief to become mixed with happy memories of your time together. But, all the memories are significant.
Sincerely,
