Barbara, I am sending prayers for all of you, that you may have the strength and peace in this time of sadness, to remember the great times and the love that Wendell had for his family and all who knew him. He was an extremely special person and a wonderful grandfather, who was held very dear to the hearts of his grandchildren. The kids will truly miss their papaw.
Deana
