I've never met her, either, but this news has crushed me. My best wishes go out to her family and friends.

Oh no! What a dark and terrible day. Cactus Wendy has always been and will always be one of the best AWers out there.
I don't even know what to say. |

I've always seen her all over this forum, and she was always kind and a bright soul. I've lit a candle for her.

Will miss you greatly, Wendy. AW won't be the same without you. You've welcomed so many into the community. Hugs and my condolences to her family. She will be missed by many. May your journey be gentle and painless. You'll always be an AWer. <3 My prayers are with you and your family.

Wendy, you will be so missed. We love the snot out of you, too.
One of my favorite people here. We often traded crime books and knowledge and crits. Wendy was my very first crit partner here. In fact, she was one of the first people outside of family to whom I showed my writing.

She is/was one of my favorites here from the very beginning. Primarily because of her compassion, wit and intelligence. Also the words in her sig line: "I love you guys."
I'm lovin' ya back with all my heart. tri

I'm deeply saddened by this. She was so very kind to me when I first arrived here and every day since.
She's going to be so very missed among us. |

She didn't, Bill. I've written back with a link to this thread/vigil, asking if there's somewhere we can send flowers, or make donations in her name, and if there's anything at all we can do -- and to please keep us posted.

![]() Wendy and I critiqued work for each other off the boards and she was always encouraging, always kind, always upbeat. I'm sending good thoughts to her and her family. Wendy, I will miss you so very much.

One of the most welcoming people I met here when I first joined.
CactusWendy, you'll always be remembered.
