WENDY LOGAN (MACPHAIL)

Condolences & Memories (23 entries)

• I was shocked to read of Wendy's passing in "On Manitoba". Wendy and I grew up together, she lived next door to me on Neil Ave. Her parents were my "aunt and uncle" and my parents were Auntie Elsie and Uncle Harold to her. My mother was her godmother and my parents moved right down the street from the Logan's after they sold their house on Neil. We both became teachers, she teaching in Winnipeg 1 and I teaching in River East School Division. My husband and I moved to the west coast and after my parents passed we lost touch. Wendy was a lovely person and one without guile. She was always smiling and had a great sense of humour. She lucked out when she married Doug Logan and became a member of the Logan family. She adored her husband and his family and they adored her. I am saddened and send both my husband's and my sincere sincere sympathies to Doug and their family. - Posted by: Jacquie And Greg Slocombe (Old childhood friends and former neighbour) on: May 16, 2013

• Life brings tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories live on forever. Crystal, Jeff, Mr Logan, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Always, Mark - Posted by: Mark (Family Friend) on: Apr 01, 2013

• My deepest condolences to Doug, Crystal, Jeff and family. I first met Wendy when my sister met Wendy's brother Rick and planned to be married. Wendy was the happiest, funniest and most caring person I had ever known then and throughout the years that our paths would cross. Just one month after losing Rick, she consented to be my bridesmaid even though it was such a difficult time in her life, always cheerful and trying to lighten everyone else's grief. When I was fortunate to see Jeff's name on my grade two class list, Wendy and I reconnected and I found that she had never changed, always very proud of her children and taking life's challenges with a smile, joke and concern for others. Give Rick and Lucy a hug from me, Wendy. Crystal, Jeff, Your Mom was one very special Lady. - Posted by: Judy Hamm (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2013

• Wendy was like a second mother to me. She was one of the strongest most caring person I know. I grew up with Jeff, and remember both at his birthday parties and my own how special they were cause we had the most unique, beautiful and special birthday cakes Wendy made, that no other baker could ever master. Wendy even gave me the most special gift at my wedding by making my wedding cake! My thoughts and prayers go out to Doug, Crystal, Russell, Emily, Lucas, Jeff and Amber. Wendy was so strong right till the end. We will all miss you! - Posted by: Erica Chaboyer (Family Friend) on: Feb 03, 2013

I remember the day my daughter was born she was so excited cause it was on her birthday, so each year Megan has her birthday I think of Wendy. Rest in peace Wendy, you wil always be remembered. - Posted by: Cindy Skelly (Friend) on: Feb 02, 2013

• Our dear Wendy, words cannot express the sadness we feel in our hearts, what an amazing, caring, loving lady. You will be missed very much. We were privileged to meet the Logan's when we moved next door to them in 2001 and even though we moved away our friendship continued. Wendy and Doug were always so great with our boys and even though they were young when we moved, my oldest son still remembers picking raspberrys with Wendy in their back yard. She was such a strong lady and always concerned about everyone else. Wendy was an amazing mom and raised amazing kids. I pray that all who loved Wendy will find comfort knowing she is at peace with no more suffering. Our prayers are with all of you. - Posted by: Shaelene Kihn (Friend) on: Feb 01, 2013

• We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of our wonderful friend and neighbour. Doug, Crystal, Russ, Emily, Lucas, Jeff and Amber our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have been neighbours and friends for over 36 years. All our children were born here and all grew up as neighbourhood buddies. We've seen our children grow up, get married and have children of their own. I babysat Crystal and Jeff and Wendy babysat my boys when I went back to work. It was nothing to run across the lane to borrow a cup of sugar or have a little visit. As I look out my window now across to Wendy and Doug's house a feeling of emptiness comes over my heart. Wendy, rest in peace you deserve it, you fought long enough. - Posted by: Susan and Gerry DeGroot (Friend and neighbour) on: Jan 31, 2013

• My first job at Ralph Brown school was to work with a grade 1/2 classroom teacher named Wendy. She was thoughtful, caring and was an excellent teacher. From my first day to many years later, Wendy became a loyal and trusted friend. Together, we laughed, joked and cried sharing and solving family and school problems. Rest in peace dear Wendy. I'll miss you. Love Gerri - Posted by: Gerri Kilcup (Friend(Buckeye , Arizona)) on: Jan 30, 2013

• I am so sorry for your loss. Wendy and I became close friends in the Faculty of Education at U of M. She was a ray of pure sunshine to all of us and I have great memories of times of fun and laughter at the cottage, at her house in E.K. and my house in Fort Garry in the late 60's and 70's. Wendy's beautiful memory will always remain in my heart. Sincerely, Bev Sigurdson - Posted by: Bev Sigurdson (nee Coy) (University friend) on: Jan 30, 2013
