My Mom (Mother) Cyndy M. Wende as of May 17 at about 10:30p.m. has passed on into the kingdom of God to sit by his side. She was My first love, My best friend, My Movie buddy, My inspiration, My courage, My strength, My motivation to never give up and to do better, she was my everything. The memories of her will live on forever in my mind. Her personality was so resilient to live through lifes trials, tribulations and hardships while filling the rooms with her smile, laughter, and spirit of positivity. She has touched the lives and hearts of many people and knowing she is no longer in pain or suffering makes me happy to know she can finally rest today. Rest while the ones she has left behind can carry on sharing the stories of her wonderful, loving, caring and compassionate personality. I love you more than yesterday mom and less then tomorrow because I love you the most today

You will never be forgotten Cynde! I’ll always remember your kind, loving heart. Your smile will always be remembered!!
Mr. Wende, Angela, Mikey, and Joanna-
I am so sorry for the loss of Mrs. Wende. This says it perfectly, her laugh lit up the room. You could always tell it came from the depths of her soul. I feel so lucky to have grown up with her right across the street and to fall into that bonus mom category. She was always there when we needed her. I will never forget our trips to Blockbuster to pick out movies and laughing til our stomachs hurt in your family room. Thank you for welcoming me into your home to see her one last time. I love you all and will be thinking of each of you. May she rest in paradise.
