We Love You Mimi (Breezy/Toots)! Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning…

“Cowgirl don’t cry, Ride, Baby, Ride. Lessons in life show us all in time, too soon God will let you know why. If you fall get right back on. The good Lord calls everybody home. Cowgirl don’t cry”

You are my light, my rock, my strength, soulmate, companion and friend and I know your spirit will always be with me. Thank you for your love without exemption.

“I'm the beat in your heart, I'm the moonlight shining down, I'm the whisper in the wind And I'll be there until the end, Can you feel the love that we share? Oh, I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there” 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in her honor to local youth sports programs. No matter the sport Wendy loved to ensure that all children had a chance to play, learn, laugh, and have fun.
