WENDY WAS CLOSE TO MOM

Wendy reflected on her relationship with her mother, saying they were like two teenage girls. Reminiscing how they were the best of friends, she said:

"Gone is the best mother, the best girlfriend, that a girl could ever have. I feel fortunate that I had her in my life all of my 56 years."

Shirley would sometimes delight her daughter's fans by making appearances on her show. She considered her daughter a ray of sunshine because she was born when her own mother had cancer. May her soul rest in peace.
