There are so many memories I could share of Wendy. This picture is when we thought we would be famous singers; we were the Wenjabets, which stood for Wendy, Janet and Betsy (her acoustic guitar). We had a manager that booked us in lounges, nursing homes, hospitals and any other place that would have us. Needless to say we didn’t make it famous.
My all time favorite memory is when she asked me to go see Elvis with her at Madison Square Garden. I think I was 15 and she was 16. It was the first concert I ever attended. She was so excited, that when Elvis came out she fainted. It was only for a minute, but she went down and I had to catch her.
Elvis wasn’t really my favorite, but Wendy was beaming with excitement; it gave me so much joy just to watch her. She made me wait outside after the show, in hopes that we would catch him coming out. This was so many years ago, but it always stuck with me.
Wendy was such a happy and positive person. She fought cancer with her head held high, never demonstrating anger or frustration, as the illness that took her from us physically, never broke her spirit. Heaven has received an angel. Wendy was a truly special person , and I will miss her dearly.
