We are both so sorry for the loss of Wyona. What a beautiful person she was. Im sure no one will forget her wonderful smile which she always carried with her. Unfortunately we are out of town this week and we’re not able to attend the funeral. My folks told me it was such a beautiful get together. I know Jake and the Landstrom’s were waiting with huge smiles. We miss them all.

I was so sad to hear of Wynie’s passing. I lived down the road from them and would often ride my bike and would always stop and talk. Her and Jack were the kindest people. Hearing of her passing brought back many good memories of our chats and hugs she would share. Whenever I go back home I know when I walk by her house I will remember the good times and think of her and smile. Sending my thoughts and prayers to her family.
