I was truly shocked and saddened to hear about Wendy's passing. I worked with Wendy and Raechel at Showtime a few years back. She was a warm and caring person who had an amazing personality. And we all so loved her home made baked goodies! Her life here was tragically cut short, but her wonderful spirit and the great memories she left behind will live on forever. My condolances go out to the Stone family, especially Raechel.

My condolences to the Stone family. I worked with Wendy at Showtime...I remember her love of Irish music, ability to type fast with incredibly long fingernails, great cookies that she baked...and how smart she was. May she rest in peace.

I'll always remember what a bright spot Wendy was as Showtime. She had a spark in her personality that was pretty amazing. I'll never forget the many fun conversations in our cubicles and her love of the Irish! She was such a warm person and always went the extra mile to help out. Raechel you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so saddened to hear of Wendy's passing. During my years at Showtime, I got to know what a unique and special person Wendy was. I remember being fascinated by how she could still type with fingernails THAT long! I remember how she always had a smart aleck comment that would make me laugh. I remember how she would always help me out whenever I needed her. She was unique. She was funny. She was caring. My heart goes out to Raechel and the family. I know your memories will get you through.

For several years I was lucky enough to work with Wendy at Showtime. She loved to bake and experiment with new recipes and everyone in the office was always willing to be her test kitchen. She was always good hearted and entertained us with her dry and cutting humor on a daily basis. My heart goes out to you, Raechel and your family. She will be hugely missed!

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about Wendy's passing. Wendy and Raechel both worked at Showtime Networks for several years together while I was there and it was a great "sister act". I know that Wendy will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She was a very proud aunt to her niece and nephew and her legacy will be long remebered through them. It is unfortunate that her life was so short on this earth but her spirit will live within all of those who knew her and who she shared a part of herself with. I send my deepest condolenses and sympathy to her family and especially to her sister Raechel.

Wendy was a kind, generous, and caring person. We knew her several years ago and attended many Irish functions together. She was so thoughtful and always available to lend a hand. Wendy helped us move into our house in June 1994 and kept a watchful eye on our 1-year old son at the time. She was one of the most generous individuals we have ever met. Wendy loved to share her time and talents and enjoyed giving to others. We miss seeing Wendy and are deeply saddened by her passing.

Wendy will be missed. She was a joy to work with and I feel honored to have known her.



All my thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family

I have known Wendy for nearly as long as I've been at CV. I will miss seeing her around the office.

My sympathies to the family.

Tim Fagan

You'll be missed, Wendy, by everyone you greeted daily while sitting at the CV reception desk. I trust you completed that knitting project you had been working on for some time....as we often joked, it must have been a sweater for the Sears Tower :-)



Rest in peace, and sincere condolences to the family.

Bill Cooke

I was and still am in total shcok about Wendy's passing. I remember when I first met Wendy in The Kilkenny Castle years and years ago. We became better friends in the Irish Village days. I regret we lost contact over the years. Her bright smile and sense of humor will be missed by many.

I'll miss you Wendy.

When I started at cars.com more than three years ago, Wendy was one of the first people I met. I learned immediately of her resourcefulness and efficiency and what an asset she was to the company. She seemed to be the one person here who could get questions answered even if it required some research on her end.



I respected Wendy and always looked forward to the days when she’d stop by my desk, tell me a joke and spread her wisdom. Just last week, I asked a co-worker about Wendy since I haven’t seen her in the office recently. Words can’t describe the sadness I felt this morning when I opened my e-mail and read about her passing.



I am shocked and sorrowful but will always remember your witty personality, Wendy. I will miss your generosity and creative ability to make people laugh and wish I had the chance to say thanks for everything you did for me here.



Bless you and your family.

Wendy was a stong, funny and kind person. We will miss her very much.

Lisa Campbell

June 2, 2003

Wendy was a truly giving and genuine person and I will miss her dearly. We worked together for the last three years and she always brought a smile to my face. I will always remember how generous she was...she even made me Shepherd's pie for dinner a couple of times when she knew I would be working late.

Joe Wiesenfelder

June 2, 2003

When Wendy came onboard at cars.com with her playful sarcasm and utter disdain for bureaucracy, it was no surprise that we formed a bond. We discovered we had similar tastes in music, which always seems to reflect an underlying likeness of sensibility. We shared many CDs and concert alerts along with the spirited commentary on the madness of corporate culture.



When last I saw Wendy, I commented that I was recovering from a flu I couldn't shake. She said something vague about knowing the feeling, but when pressed for details, she avoided the question. Her absence from the office grew increasingly curious, but true to Wendy's wishes, no one was talking.



I suppose I understand why she wanted to keep this quiet. I still wish I had known, though I don't think I could have found the appropriate words to say. I still can't. Wendy was an eccentric, an individualist, a sometimes-surly source of dogged reason and the bearer of uncommon humanity. Any one of these qualities would be welcome in the workplace. Our loss is beyond measure.



Thank you, Wendy, for the time you gave us.

Gwendolyn Berry

June 2, 2003

To the family: Please know that this loss is not yours alone. I will miss Wendy more than anyone could ever know. Her wit and humor was enough to kick-start your day. Her easy spirit and attitude inspired my day. I will try not to ask the question of why, but will remember that the blessing here is that I had a chance to know this wonderful person.



My sincere condolences.

Jen Ramanna

I will miss our fish n' chip lunches and mutual love for Def Leppard. My sincerest condolences to her family during this difficult time.

During my time at CV, Wendy’s smile was the first thing I would see every morning, and I drew from her strength and sincerity. Her simple gestures taught me that no matter how bad it can get, there is always warmth and love. Her generosities were abundant and her talent and style were so unique. I am so lucky to have known such a beautiful person.



I will miss her dearly.

Eva Thanopoulos

June 2, 2003

Wendy will definitely be missed!I shared many good times with her here at work. I remember meeting her the first day I started. Wendy, Mary and I had lunch together many times, walked to the train together and shared many laughs. She would always bring in candy and baked goods for all. I still picture her coming by saying, 'Hello Little Eva!' and I responding, 'Hello, Ms. Stone!'.She was a good hearted person and truly will be missed! For the family at this time please accept our most heartfelt sympathy.

Sean Condon

I am very sorry to hear about this. Wendy was always nice to me when we would see each other in the hallways at work, or when getting coffee from the kitchen.



I always liked to see the designs painted on her nails! She had her own style and spunk!



I will miss her.

Kea Meyers

How shocked I am to hear of Wendy's passing. It's been a long time since I've worked at Classified Ventures, but Wendy was truly one of my favorites. Even though I have not seen or talked to her in a while, There is still a great sense of loss. I'm glad she is now at peace.



With sadness,

My thoughts and prayers are with Wendy's family during this difficult time. Wendy was a wonderful person to work with, but more importantly a true friend to be around.

Laef & Anne Olson

June 2, 2003

Wendy was a very special person. She was a perceptive and empathetic soul that could tell how your day was going and would know whether to offer some pointed encouragement, or simply revel in it with you through the liberal application of her cutting wit. A greeting from her was enough to start your day off right, and her absence will leave a lasting hole in our lives. She will be sincerely missed. Her family remains in our thoughts and prayers.



God Bless,

Laef and Anne Olson

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Wendy's passing! I saw here a couple of weeks ago when she was experiencing intense stomach pains and it did not look good. Wendy was always making and bringing into work baked goods or had some type of candy at her desk. She was always thinking of others. She was a friendly person I was familiar with since 1998 and I will truly miss her presence here at work!

Wendy - you will be so missed! My time working with you at cars.com was a true pleasure, and many times your smile, ability and interest to listen, and generous nature made my day. I'm still making soda bread from the Irish cookbook you gave me. You will not be forgotten.

Wendy,

I will be the first to admit that I did not know much about you. But what I did know was that your brought smiles to all those whose shifts started at 7am. You kept us on our feet. I loved your personaltiy and sarcasm. Each made me look forward to seeing you the next morning. And I am sure that I am not the only that wishes that we could have been with you through this. You certainly have made an everlasting impression on me. When I heard the news I cried...I never got to know you and worst of all, I never got to say goodbye and thank you for all that you have done for your extended family at CV! I will never forget you Wendy. We miss you dearly and will always be here for you in thoughts and prayers.



Blessed Be!
