Dear Nancy, Linda, Laura, Jason, Emily and Marcelle and the rest of the family: You are not alone in your feelings of loss.
Wendy always impressed me with her calm and pleasant demeanor, (altho a story Nancy recently shared showed her to be quite human) and her kindness. She was a beautiful soul and the world is poorer for her passing.
I look forward to the opportunity to reunite with the Queenswood family as we honour her life. It seems fitting that it is Wendy who is bringing us together again.
I am so shocked and saddened by Wendy’s passing – I had the honor of knowing her only a few short years but she brought much laughter into my life, and I am a better person for having known her.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
Wendy was the calm in the great storm of a family she had around her! Celebrations at their house were very happy and boisterous – she was the one keeping everything on track in the background. She was very generous and no matter how many strays Tracey invited over they were all welcome – truly welcomed by Wendy. She was a big part of organizing our wedding and she made a very stressfull time relaxed and happy. We will neve forget her and will miss her very much! We love you Tracey! Thank you for making us a part of your wonderful family!
Auntie Wendy,
You were our best toothes Fairy a child can dream of… You are in our heart forever.
Big hugs and kisses Zoé and Chaya
I am very saddened to hear of Wendy’s passing. She will always remind me of apples and cinnamon, along with fond memories of JL’s Gallery Restaurant.
Deepest sympathy and best wishes to Barron Family.
Sincerely,

I am shocked to hear that Wendy passed so quickly, but it is a blessing that she is joined again with Kenn. She made every one of my stays at Queenswood a special visit with her quick smile, genuine affection and hearty laugh. She will be missed but always loved.

Shocked and so sad to hear of Wendy’s passing. We lost touch years ago, but she was one of my best friends in school.

She was one of a kind and I feel lucky to have had her in my life and to have counted her as a friend.
