Dear families: I am so so sorry for the loss of Wendell. He sure was one of a kind and never met a stranger. He was always happy and enjoyed life to its fullest. I will never forget him with his parrot and having it to talk about Darrell. He got the biggest kick out of that and so did we. I know this is a very difficult time for you all, but your loved one is in Heaven with a new body and living with Jesus and the rest of your loved ones there. My heart goes out to each of you. I know Wendell sure loved his family, his children and his grandchildren. I pray each of you find strength, peace, comfort, and hope through Our Lord and one another. You have my love and prayers now and in the days to come. With much love and deepest sympathy, Jo Ann Burton and Family
I love and miss you Uncle Wendell , your nephew Dale.
