My deepest condolences to the family.
I am so sad to hear of Wendy's passing. The picture here embodies her spirit perfectly.
Wendy was my Grade 7 teacher at Laruentian and at the time, she was Mrs. Dyck.
There are many things I remember about her.
She often spoke fondly about her son, who was very young at the time. He was the light of her life.
Her classroom was COVERED in smiley faces. Like, they were everywhere. There were too many to count. Sometimes my classmates said they would try to count them during the day, but would always lose track.
I remember Mrs. Dyck used to pull into the parking lot BLASTING Eminem. She also loved him.
She was VERY competitive. Any time there was any sort of competition between classes at the school, her class HAD to win. I remember one time there was a food drive and to make sure we won, she went out and bought a large pack of Ramen or something like that. Then she opened it because each individual package counted toward our total. And yes, we did win that year.
And this last one is random, but whenever she was going through the class list, like for attendance or to dismiss us, she would also say my name like a chicken, BUCK-A.
