    Here are a few things I remember of Aunt Wendy, I remember going to Sara Toga New York. Going to see Iris’s Sister and seeing Little Wayne. Getting to d of her fabulous recipes. During a winter Dad and I went to see Aunt Wendy and Uncle Jerry and after a good visit and on the way home we got caught behind a snow plow and a snow storm. My mom got worried and called Carl to see if he had heard from either dad or I and asked him to call Aunt Wendy to see if they had left. it took us almost 6 hours to reach home. and Carl called Aunt Wendy to let them know they had arrived home safely.
