Bob, Sheri, Jordie and Josh and family. My heart is broken for your loss. Bob, you were a stalwart and loving husband and an awesome advocate of your Eshyes Chayl, Wendy, of Blessed Memory. I don't know Sheri well but I know she was a beloved daughter to her mother and still is to you Bob. Jordi and Josh, I have known you as kids, from your Eitz Chaim days and last saw Jordie, as a radiant bride and Joshie....you know I have always adored you since pre kindergarten and of course from shul and as beloved neighbours in the building. This is a major loss for all of you. Wendy will always be there for you, watching over you all with love. May your memories sustain you at this sad time and may you be comforted with all the Mourners of Zion and Yerushalyim and know no more sorrow. Please feel free to call upon me at any time if I can be of help to you. I'll miss Wendy's cheese cake next Shavout. She was accomplish in so many ways and those in Gan Eden will find her a force of nature in organizing the heavenly Seudahs! Love Janice Lebow

The loss of this vivacious loving intelligent woman has deeply saddened me. Wendy and I so shared deep love and connection to the Village Shul. Wendy was a force of nature. Her deep commitment to her Jewish roots her family and representing Aish at our BoardMeetings will be greatly missed. She was the voice of reason of all things fair and just. She was always coiffed beautifully and an eternal Smile always on her face. I will miss her. Carry her heart I your heart.

Bob and family: Wendy was a pillar of your family, but also of the Toronto jewish community, for which she devoted herself so tirelessly. Less than a week ago, she logged onto a village shul board call from the hospital. That kind of self sacrifice and never ending committment to the Jewish people is a rare trait, but one which Wendy had in spades. She will be missed, but her impact will be felt for generations to come.

Harvey and Shirley Anne Haber

Dear Bob, Sherri Lynne, Adam, Marlee, Lucus, Jordy, Josh. It is with great sorrow that Uncle Harvey and Auntie Shirley Anne mourn the loss of our special niece Wendy. She was truly an Ayshes Chayil, her heart filled with goodness and always doing Mitzvot to help others. And that wonderful smile and sense of humour making everyone feel special. We loved our Wendy so very much. She was like another daughter to us. Uncle Harvey used to call her his Bugs Bunny when she was little, he loved her so much. We will miss her greatly and mourn her passing with the family. May her memory be for a blessing. We will remember her always with love. A beautiful person inside and out.

Dearest Zinner Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the wonderful honour of working with her at Aish HaTorah and volunteering with her as we happily planned the Ground Breaking Ceremony and other events at The Village Shul. Wendy's exceptional spirit, devotion and kindness shone through brightly in each of these endeavours. May her memory always be a blessing and may you find comfort among the mourner's of Zion.

Dear Arthur, , Cary, and Randall, I’m thinking of you all at this very sad time. It’s such a shock to hear that your beloved daughter and sister has gone. Turning to your close family at this time will be a comfort as you share your grief with Bob and the children. Although I didn’t see Wendy very often, i’ve known her since she was a teenager and witnessed her grow as a wife, mother, and business woman. I know how much all of you loved her and how she shared her love for you. My deepest condolences.

Harvey and Sharon Hirsh

Dear Bob and Family, We were saddened to learn of Wendy's passing from our sister (in law) Lorraine Blass. We met Wendy at the shiva of our father (in law) Saul Hirsh and we were immediately impressed with her kindness and and generosity. She literally took charge and was instrumental in organizing the kitchen and often brought us the most delicious food that she had so lovingly prepared. Wendy was one of the most genuine and unselfish people we have ever met and her presence during a most difficult time was indeed a comfort. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that the many wonderful memories you have of this truly extraordinary woman will comfort you in the days ahead.

It is with profound sadness that we learned of Wendy's passing. She was beloved throughout the community and her kindness positively impacted so many. She was like a daughter to my in-law's Harold and Yetta Nashman throughout her camper and staff years at Camp Wahanowin and well beyond. She was always there for the Nashman children. Camp Wahanowin is a big supporter of Kids of Courage and it is not surprising that Wendy supported this very meaningful cause among many others as well. Our heartfelt condolences to Robert, Sherri, Jordana, Joshua and their families during this challenging time of loss. May Wendy's memory be a blessing.

Bob and Family, we were so sorry to hear about Wendy's passing. What a kind, genuine, friendly, real, down-to earth, strong, loving, and downright remarkable person she was. She will be sorely missed. Maimonides writes: "Ani Ma'amin B'emunah Sheleimah - i believe with every fiber of my heart - that Moshiach can arrive at any time now". And when He does, we will merit seeing Wendy and all our other dearly departed relatives once again. i hope that brings you some small measure of comfort. Baruch Dayan Emes. May the Makom comfort you with all the Mourners of Tziyon and Yerushalayim. Rabbi Zee and Family

An incredible, determined, focused, friendly, orderly, go to woman who was private, always supporting her family and others while in the background dealing with her own things. A role model to the community who just continued to give, lead by example and did not give up. She was the woman who people would go to to get things done even though she herself had a full plate. So organized whether it was event planning or within her own home. A loving wife, Mother, Grandmother and friend to all she encountered. Wendy you will be sorely missed. HaMakom Yenachem Etchem B'Toch Sha'ar Avlay Zion v'Yerushalayim. May her memory always be for a blessing. Deepest condolences Bob and family. Tom & Shoshanah

Dear Bob, Sherri ,Jordi and Josh There are no words I can find that can convey the deep sorrow and loss of your beloved mother and wife. To say she is a woman of valour almost understates her grace. Her warmth and hospitality and her 'ayin tov' were both models and lifes lessons for me. The love you feel for her, the gratitude and the connection will never end. Because Wendy's children are such fine human beings. As they say: Apple....Tree. Bob we are heartbroken for all of you. Please accept our deepest condolenses and our commitment to attempt to emulate her! Love, Adrienne and Jason
