We have so many wonderful memories of Wendy going way back to our days together at Barrington College. Wendy was the organizer of so many things in college. Both of us participated in a historical fashion show that Wendy put together as one of her business projects. She was the cheerleader for float building for her Homecoming class float each year as well as one who stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to complete the float. She was a good friend to all, compassionate, caring and always practical and encouraging.
Early in our post college lives we lived close enough to visit as we had our children and began our careers. Wendy continued to be involved with family, church and community. Again, always the advocate and practical encourager. Although she was diagnosed with cancer early in her life she stayed involved and God answered her prayer that she would be alive to raise her children and see them launched into adulthood. Although, this came at great cost to Wendy. The cost of suffering for many years as she valiantly fought her disease.
We will miss Wendy very much and we will always remember her strong spirit and her caring heart.

Wendy was a strong, courageous and a kind hearted women that we know of. We met Wendy in 2006 when we bought our home next to her. Since that day we were blessed by her positive personality, always helpful nature, thoughtful gifts and well expressed hand written notes. She never complaint about her pain while going thru the long, painful cancer treatments but always talked about the positive things she was looking forward to in her life. We shared so many family stories together and became a true friend than just a neighbor. We will deeply miss Wendy whenever those iris plants starts blooming every year in our yard that we exchanged.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time….

Wendy may have been the youngest of the Forbes' siblings, she was my BIG cousin. I used to love playing with her. Hope it was mutual, I am 3 years younger so it must have been boring for her at times ... I have a picture of app. 1963 of us playing. which I cherish. It lookes like we are doing someting crafty I also remember the annual package we got from aunt Pauline. Among others it contained hand-me-downs from Wendy! I especially remember the purple dress with white collar and pink ribbon. What made the dress so special was the fact that we had a picture on the mantle piece of Douglas, Cheryl, Sandy and Wendy in which Wendy was wearing that dress. It made me feel close to her :).
I have many many fond memories of Wendy, even though we did not get to see each other that much. Many of these memories are at Kimbell Lake, as that is where we would visit aunt Pauline and family.
I am so glad we got to spend time with Wendy and other family members in 2007. Wendy joined us in various activities for several days, only later on did I learn that she actually did more than she was physically able to do. Her will power was immence.
I wish her children, grandchildren, brother, sisters, nieces, other relatives and friends strength and love to bear this loss and to be able to live on with a special place for Wendy in our hearts.

I came to know Wendy just this past year and I have to tell you she made quite an impact in my life. The time we spent together helped open my mind to new things. Her faith in God never waivered as she fought a brave fight against cancer. She was a kind friend who gave good advice. In turn, I was happy that I was able to reciprocate the kindness, and add some humor to help her get through the rough days. I found that we had some similarities in that we were the same age, came from a family of three other siblings in which we were the youngest, and we had a fondness for Hallmark movies, as well as I Love Lucy. Wendy is now pain-free with the Lord up in Heaven. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Wendy has been a close friend since childhood days when I was five and she was six. Her tanned summer skin with her long wind - blown dark hair is how I best remember her as she set us off to some adventure for the day. Some of these excursions were in her backyard in Burlington, picking blueberries along the hill before we went swimming in the town pool or riding bicycles down her shed ramp. In Ocean Park, after playing at the beach, we'd buy 10 cent sugar cookies - cookies so good that both of us were trying to figure out the secret to their distinct texture and flavor this past spring as we visited.
At Kimball Lake Shores, Wendy and I perused construction sites, such as my mother's cottage, before she coaxed me that it was time for us to cool off in the swimming hole near the brook. Eventually, Wendy had her private sandbar-type Island where we made campfire breakfasts and planted lots of tiny saplings to prevent erosion. I sensed we were purposefully doing something meaningful since Wendy said so, but she envisioned the larger scope of soil preservation to the extent that the island eventually needed a geological name. It was appropriately named Wendy's Island.
I did not have the opportunity to see Wendy as much as I would have liked to as the years went on after we both married and raised our children two hours away from each other. Occasional phone calls kept us in touch every few months or years,. Each conversation emphasized Wendy's faith and her determination to enjoy life - to make the most of the health that she had.
Wendy had many happy childhood years of which I was a present part. Yet her adult years were challenging, especially as she fought for her life and the correct treatment for decades. As word reached me that Wendy's last days were imminent, I sensed these words about her life: "In this world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
As I think of Wendy's faith, her struggles, her determination, and even her joy despite her trials, it inspires me. I know she'd be beckoning us all forwards to endure the difficulties, be thankful for what we have, and to remain strong and hopeful. I see her telling us from her heavenly mountain top that the best is yet to come!
My love and prayers go to each of those who loved her and knew her., especially her dearly cherished family members.
Just as Wendy left her footprints on the sands of Wendy's Island, so she left a path of memories upon the hearts of each of us who knew her.
Wendy, you will be missed!
Love, Beth

What a beautiful and sincere tribute to your Mom. You have described Wendy so very perfectly. Throughout her illness, I never remember Wendy complaining...she just cared so much about the rest of us...her health issues never got in the way of making us feel good. I miss our Family Game Nights. I miss our Family Christmas Ornament Making Nights...our laughs when some of them didn't come out so well. I miss her spontaneous generosity...loaning your van for the Mansfield Food Pantry to pick up food donations...always willing to help me out. Mostly, I will miss our very interesting conversations...on so many different topics. I will miss you, Wendy, my very good friend.

I am so sorry for your family's loss but so glad you all know that Wendy is in a better place and you will see her again one day.
I remember Wendy from Camp Cherith, always smiling and just so free and happy. I loved being around her because she was always so full of life. Wendy, as you all know, was strong in her faith. I remember seeing her sitting out on the hill, her hair blowing in the breeze and reading her Bible and I'm sure she did lots of praying as well.
Once I found out that Wendy had cancer I started praying for her. She has now received the ultimate healing. I am so glad that she is no longer suffering but certainly that doesn't take away anyone's pain. Don't hold back the tears. That is part of your healing.
God bless you all as you walk through this difficult time.

Wendy was a friend from way back at Burlington High, and also from our church youth group. It's been a long time since I've seen her but we had some correspondence on Facebook that connected us again. What a tremendous loss to all who knew her - she was such a unique and vibrant soul. Many prayers for peace and the love of God to comfort you all during this time. Along with you, I feel glad that she is healed and free and whole once again.

I knew Wendy from college youth group days. What I remember is her sweet, generous heart, her love for singing, and rafting down the Saco river. I'm so sad and sorry to hear of this loss. Prayers of peace to her family.

Words can't express how Wendy touched my life. I met her when I was in 10th grade. 1975. Because of Wendy I found God and my wonderful husband. We walked through life together. Ups and downs. Praying for each other and our families. Now I thank God she has finished her race well, pain and suffering free. That being said, I miss her greatly.
To the family AKA my other family, I cover you in all my prayers for God's peace and comfort as you walk this road of grief.
Wendy, I love you and will miss you until we meet again in heaven.

I was so sorry to hear about Wendy. We went to high school together and shared the same early bus. Very early. Wendy always had a cheerful comment and a smiling face no matter how early in the morning it was. She was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed.
