    My baby sister is gone...
    My sister was officially pronounced this morning.

    She was an organ donor so they are maintaining the body to test
    and find matches for those in need for donor organs.
    Hospital and organ donor staff had a short service and
    raised a flag in front of the hospital in her honor this
    afternoon at 2:00pm. Her daughter Tosha (who usually did her hair)
    cut her beautiful long hair to be donated to "Locks of Love".
    We had a short prayer service in her room afterwards lead by Tosha's husband.


    The remains will be cremated after organ and tissue harvesting is completed - which was my sister's wish. Tentative plans are to have a memorial service some time after Christmas.

    This was all very sudden and to the best of my knowledge, Wanda did not suffer
    and for that I'm grateful.

    She had a deep love of and extraordinary gift with animals and was widely known for this.
    A very kind and giving person, she will be dearly missed.

    It breaks my heart to have to share this news with you but
    my baby sister is gone. I'm so proud of her for being so kind,
    thoughtful and selfless in donating her organs/body to those in need.

    So sorry
    Jim

    I am so sorry to learn of your dear sweet sister's passing. Your description of her is truly moving. What an amazing woman. Please find strength in knowing that she is at peace and did not suffer.

    Continued prayers for her family and for you, as you all move forward during this very difficult time.

    My heart is heavy....

    Oh man Jim, I am so sorry to hear of your sisters passing. I know how hard it is to lose someone we love at this time of year. My heart and prayers go out to your family. I write this with tears in my eyes and wish it wasn't so.

    Rest easy knowing she wasn't in pain.

    Heart hurts
    My heart hurts for you Jim and I'm so very very sorry Wanda did not pull through. God had his own plan and she is in his loving arms now. I'm just so sad, my stomach is in a knot and I can't find the right words to express. I just wish I could give you a big warm hug my friend. We are all here for you and will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers. Much love to you...Sue

    Sad for your grief
    Dear Jim,

    I am so very sorry for your loss. So suddently and unexpected.

    Jim, you were blessed to have such a wonderful and kind sister. I always
    believed, the ones that care deeply for animals and their causes are angels
    on earth. I know you will cherish Wanda's memory, hopefully this will ease
    the burden of your loss.

    You and your family are in my prayers. Love Maggie

    Wanda's gifts
    They have already done a successful liver transplant for a recipient
    and have two recipients lined up for kidney transplants from my sister's
    organ donation. I'm so happy she's making someone's Christmas so bright
    with this generosity.

    We will have Christmas at her daughter's house as planned and though
    it will be difficult at times, we will make the best of it.

    My family requests I send "Thanks" to you for all your previous and
    ongoing prayers and thoughts for us during this time.

    Hi Jim,
    What wonderful gifts that will make such a difference in other peoples lives. Wanda was indeed a very special lady. I hope you and the family will be able to sit around and share all of your fond memories of Wanda and in some way it will make the holidays a bit more bearable. God bless you all.

    Still here everyday
    Jim,
    We are still here and always will be for you and your family. I just can't imagine what you are going thru at this time. I know it is hell to say the least. Just trying to remember the good times sometimes makes it worse. I know because I have been thru that. It makes you realize how much you really miss someone. We will all be strong for you. John
