She was such a vibrant presence in the AO community until so recently, on the Facebook page especially. I also followed her blog and personal FB page and I felt like I knew her even though I only spoke with her in person once in 2019. Now I feel such a strong sense of loss. If I, who only knew her superficially, feel this way, I can only imagine the devastating giant hole that has been ripped in the fabric of her family. I pray Psalm 67:1 over Wendi's family: May God have mercy on them, and bless them, and cause His face to shine upon them today.
I feel very similarly... I never met her, she may not even have known me, but... I read her blog before I found AO, and at first I didn't have a clue she was an Advisory member... It... Just doesn't seem real. Like maybe she is just taking a blogging break? Sigh... I'm deeply saddened. I wish there was more I could do to support those who loved her and whom she loved. May her Memory be Eternal and God have mercy on all of us grieving this loss.
