    I knew Wanda from the 12th Street Niemann’s store. She was a lot of fun to work with, and she had a great sense of humor. Sending thoughts and prayers to her family.

    Dear Robert and family, Wanda was a real treat and also a nice person, I knew all the children when at St. Rose so many years ago, and also her father Earl too. God rest her soul and I will have a mass said at St. Rose.
