  1. Wendy, I don’t believe we’ve met, but I’m one of Jonathan’s ‘Hilton stepsisters,’ and I was very sorry to hear of his death. I was a young teenager when my father married Jonathan’s mother, and I remember him as a kind and caring person. I pray God’s comfort for you and for all of his family and friends.

  3. Wendy darling,

    I am so very saddened by Jonathan’s death. He was a delight and meeting you was the very best thing for him. I loved him very much and always had so much fun when Jimmy and I would get together with you and “the boys” at Corky’s house. Please feel free to confide in me about anything. You know Jimmy was a sick man also but I would never be so insensitive to even suggest “I know what you are going through”.

    I just want you to know that i am here for you, anytime, day or night.

  4. Wendy, You sometimes talk about Jonathan, his picture you place on your desk at work which showed me how much you love him. My condolences for the loss of your loved one. With deepest sympathy from your co-workers.

  5. Hi Mrs Wendy I’ve only known you at work for a short while but in that small amount of time you have taught me the strength and perseverance we as women have. We first met in the restroom at work an I ask you if you would like to pray with me, not knowing we were going to share the same experience in this life, the lose of our husbands. This is a bond that can never be broken. I am here for you always God Bless.
