She loved her children, and she went to school, graduated, yet she still wanted more out of life. She wanted to provide the best life that she could for her children, and had an amazing and most admirable thirst for knowledge. She always felt she could do better, and she was such an inspiration to me. Wendy was not an easy person to get to know, so she felt that she was misunderstood by people, and it was frustrating to her. But as someone who knew her for most of her life, I understood what her goals and dreams were. She had many of those, and I am honored that she shared them with me. I had no doubt that she would have made many of those dreams come true. While I rejoice that she has found peace at last, the World feels less special without my little Sister being in it. I have memories of a giggly 12 year old, who hugged me every chance she could. She loved unconditionally, and that was the first quality that made me fall in love with her. She was always trying to make things right with everyone. This trait was also a flaw, but only because there were people who saw her goodness, and chose to take advantage of her generosity, without any regard for Wendy's feelings. I made a promise to Wendy that I would not let this happen yet again, in the event of her passing. I hold that promise dear, seriously and most soberly. Her children will know who she really is. They will never forget her, because I will not let that happen. I have e-mails sent by their Mom which show how funny and special she was. How dedicated to her children she was, and that she did her best with what she could. Wendy felt she made many mistakes, but she owned up to them, and vowed to make things right for her children, and her life. Her heart was huge, and so was her capacity to love. She loved her Parents, with whom she is now reunited. She loved her brothers, she loved the Lord. Wendy was a choice daughter of Our Heavenly Father. She wanted to do the right things, and even though she stumbled along the way, her determination allowed her to stay on her chosen path to righteousness. I will miss my Sister, until we meet again, and our laughter will then continue. I loved her, and admired her, and I thank her once more, for the joy, and the lessons she taught me. She was 13 years younger than me. Yet oftimes, I was her student. God Bless her wonderful family during this difficult time. She loved you all, as always, unconditionally. She sometimes saw herself as a lump of coal. But all I ever saw was a priceless gem, with her Spirit shining brightly. I love her, and our relationship was such that even though she is gone, I know that if I make a wrong decision, that if she were able to, she would give me a small kick, and with a laugh, of course! I thought of that last night, and had a laugh about that! She will always make me laugh, through the tears of my missing her. Oh, how I love you, Sis! See ya around the corner -- but not too soon, okay? I can almost hear her laughing about that, too. Thanks for the memories . . . . . . Gidget Leach raindrop1999@Hotmail.com I will miss you - our talks online - you were supposed to call me, but you never had the time . . . I will miss your best potato cassarole . . . it was awesome and you cooked fish that was good to . . . . I recall one night, I was over eating, of course, and I was getting ready for a date at your house. You made me feel really good that night . . . thanks for supporting me in that . . . I am proud to have known you. You are a great mom and a great friend -- no one can ask for anything better in a friend you were it! I wish I had had more time with you it's to soon for you to go . . . . I remember a few weeks ago I messaged you -- I said "are you ignoring me?" I recall as we left each other online you said "I luv you" and "hugs" and I always said luvs back and hugs back . . . One last time before I have to let you go from this life -- I luv you and hugs to you, the greatest friend . . . . . Kayce Westervelt kkwestervelt@hotmail.com This is so hard to believe. She was my rock when I needed one. She was my comfort, my friend, my sister. To say she was a Godsend is an understatement. She was there to pick me up when I fell and then kick me in the pants telling me never to do that again. She was my card playing buddy until the early morning hours. To be there for the birth of two of her boys was the best gift she could have given me. I feel like I have lost a part of me that will never be replaced. I am just very glad she is up there on my side. You will be severely missed!! Wendy McUne Norman mattwend@juno.com I am so sorry for the loss of Wendy. She was my friend at Ricks College and every time I ran into her afterwards, I was always so happy to see her. As long as her parents were alive, I was occasionally able to stop by and check up on her and Ryan, another good friend. What good people you are. I'm sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Wendy Norman Becki Jackson rbjhj@aol.com I knew Wendy and Ty when they lived at the Wagon Wheel in Rexburg. The last time I saw her was at a old fashioned photo session in Pocatello. She was such a good mom and I considered her a friend. I was really sorry to see her obit. Micki Garcia mickiandjim@yahoo.com I know they say denial is the best answer to everything...I guess you can say Im still in denial... Wendy helped me through so many things...whether be her laughter that immediately would bring a smile and pierce the hearts of the ones she touched, or the softness of her voice and she would sing with you ...Together we sang many of songs, well or not, we made sure they were heard...one we always ended up with was from hee haw...how we discovered it, who knows.. She has been blessed with so many wonderful gifts and talents and was never one to keep them to herself...the opportunity to even have the chance to be touched by any of these was like gold. A true friend, and very supportive of many..as times she had her life on a roller coaster..up one moment, only to be holding on for dear life as it descended to the bottom...but either way, she was still laughing or smiling at the end result. She so loved her boys...they were her gems and still are..In my heart, god meant for these children to go to her , noone else, she had the opportunity to share, and grow and love each one of them and I so hope and pray they never ever forget what May the blessings of heaven. I tell myself this is all a bad dream..that as i go shopping I will run into her and hear her laughter. Wendy, please just know, I love you hun, and having the slightest opportunity to say I even knew you...that was my lottery ticket...It will never be the same.. " I've searched the world over and thought I found true love...You met another and ....you were gone.." That song will never be the same. Micki Sawyer Sasse Wendy's has been in my life as long as I've been alive as she was my big sister's best friend for the past 23 years. She was the most dedicated mother and friend that anyone could ever ask for in this world. Sadly her life was cut short, and sadly her 3 beautiful boys have lost their mother, and their cornerstone. Fortunately for Ty, Brad, and Garrett Wendy entrusted such wonderful people to care for them and take her place in her absence. Wendy, you will be missed so dearly, you had such a heart of gold, and gave as much as you could and then some. We love you!
