I can't believe a year has gone by already since Wendell passed away. I know eventually it gets easier to deal with the loss and pain. I hope Wendell is looking down upon us as our Angel and hope he knows how much he is loved and missed.

Dear Gigi,
I was in total shock and disbelief when I received your e-mail that my good friend, Wendell, had passed away.
Wendell was a great guy and I as well as others will have fond memories of him to talk about when we meet at the Tiki Bar. He will be dearly missed by all.
My deepest sympathy go out to you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Dear GIGI and Family,
Our deepest sympathys, We always thought of you 2 as our closest freinds. This is such a tremendous loss, we are trully devastated.
We are so proud to have known Wendall and to have gone through so much with him. I will never foget our weekly trips to Rockford and the fun we both had in the disguise of work. I will always remember the envy I had of his nice warm head of hair on those below zero mornings looking at cars together. His work ethic and passion for the job at hand is an inspiration for everyone to follow. His deep love of family and freinds will be a personal inspiration to us the rest of our lives. We miss our friend.

To our dearest friends, Gigi and family. Our thoughts, and so many of them, are with you at this time of your loss. There will never be another year on the Island of Maui that we will not think of Wendell; sitting on our balcony and talking every morning, sitting at the Tiki bar in the evening with people confusing Roy for Wendell or Wendell for Roy and having a good laugh. Wendell was a very kind and loving person and will be greatly missed by all, especially you, his dear and loving family. We love you guys.
