Wendy...You left without saying goodbye.
Alot of people including myself will miss you deeply and were touched simply by having known you. You will be missed and I wish you the peace you deserved.

Always loved to look at headlines. Could she have died BEFORE junping from Skyway? Very sad situation - people like this need our concern, not murderers and criminals.

I live two buildings down from where Wendy reside with her significant other. They both were very delightful people. My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends at this time!!

She was a dear friend. I wish she could've understood that there is ALWAYS HOPE no matter what this life throws your way. She would have stopped a moving train to help any one of us.

I knew her and had no idea that she was going through this. I wish she had reached out for help.

That poor woman, how awful. She must have thought she had no other way out; I've felt that way a lot of times, kind of makes you wonder what she was thinking on the way down, if it was a mistake, it's too late to do over.
