Miamisburg, OH Monday, March 25, 2024 Wendi has been an amazing daughter-in-law. When Ian first brought her to my home to meet her, their faces said it all. They were both amazingly content and happy! Wendi and Ian have been perfect for each other and they kept their love and happiness a priority. Wendi will always be greatly missed by all of us, but especially her family and friends. I cannot imagine the pain my son or Wendi's parents must deal with. I pray the happiest of memories and love will prevail for all remembering Wendi! She has been a very special person to us all.Jacqulyn Rathjen
