Was reading the obits and came across the name Wanda. Thinking that we graduated from Plainwell in 67’. Am very sorry for your loss. Mothers are so special. They can step in and take the place of many others, yet no one can ever replace them! Sorry, but I do not know your siblings. Just know that your parents raised a remarkably kind, gracious & attractive daughter! Be kind to yourself as you navigate the rocky paths of grief. Will keep you in my thoughts & prayers, as well as your family members. Take care. Sincerely.
