Many years ago my 1st introduction to Wendy & Howard was to Mark. Their son & I were having a full-on fight in their lounge...they thought omg who is this girl lol BUT as the years went by I grew to love Wendy & Howard & they grew to love me.
I'm so sad about Wendy's passing.
A lovely lady who I consider to be a very strong woman...T, Mark, Rol, Monz & Bill at times gave her a run for their money lol but Wendy loved her kids & her grandchildren.
Love to all the whanau
So sorry I can't be there but unfortunately the 1st flight out from Snowy Mountains is Thursday.
You will be missed, Wendy.
Rest in Peace Wendy
