Wendy was well loved and many of you are asking how you can help. I thought this would be one way to help ease the burden on the family. This unexpected tragedy left her family deeply saddened and struggling to cope with the loss of their daughter, sister, cousin, neice, auntie, and friend...

Wendy was such a bubbly and loving person and she will be greatly missed. Everyone is trying to understand how she can be so healthy one day, and the next she is dying of kidney failure. Most of us don't expect this to happen to us, our family, and we are not prepared to deal with the loss and plans that go into saying goodbye to such a beautiful person.

Because Wendy was so well-known, Darcy is expecting close to 200 peoople in attendance at the services and she really wants to provide a memorable opportunity for people to celebrate Wendy's life. Funds raised will help pay for the venue, food, and other expenses related to helping the family find closure.

I have increased the goal from $2,000 to $5,000 because I just found out that Darcy has already exceeded $5,000. Please know, that all funds will go directly to Wendy's mother Darcy. Thank you for anything you would like to contribute.
