My dear sweet Wanda, the sister I never had. I have helped her plan her funeral. The beautiful songs, the pictures of her boys. We have talked for hours on end about the good old days..... The nurse told us tonight that she has a few weeks at the most. I am a little selfish for wanting her to stay. But I know she must go. Because she is going to her brand new home. Where there will be no more pain, no more tears, no more good byes and no more cancer. I have told her to let both of my Mother's know that I am on my way. And I told her to be waiting for me. I love you Wanda Bowles, you have always been the loving sister I never had. I will meet you over there and I have a feeling it will be very soon!!

Wanda was such a sweet and caring person. She was always more concerned about others than herself. We graduated together in the first paralegal class at Westark, worked together at a law firm for several years and later she helped me to find staff for the office through her job at Randstand. I was fortunate to have known Wanda and I wish the best for her boys and family. She will really be missed.
