      I’m sorry to hear about Wanda’s passing. I worked with her at Farm Fresh. I loved visiting with her and listening to her stories of family and earlier years. She always had a cold container of iced tea in the refrigerator and if I may say, the best iced tea I’ve ever had. She always made me laugh with her spunkiness.
      My condolences to her family.
      It was a great privilege to have known her.
