Today, I was at the profound Memorial service of my sister Wendy Denelle Schilling-Guerassio.

Even though it is impossible to put into words or music, the significance of a life..the impact of her memorial service spurs me on to write, to live more, to laugh more, to listen more and especially to love more.

One day our closest friends and family will speak about you..about me.

What will they say? How did my life touch theirs?

What kind of music did I play in their hearts? Did I laugh and cry with them? Did I encourage them and dream with them? Did I listen to them and dance with them through good times and embrace them in storms of life?

Did I ever wash their feet or serve them a meal? Did I help them move or clean their house? Did I ever stop and ask them their dreams? Did they know without a doubt that they could call me anytime of day or night?

Wendy did all these things and more. Her fun loving spirit, her vivacious personality made everyone feel at home. Her unashamed smile was contagious. She was so authentic! She was not intimidated by anyone’s ego or accolades. Wendy naturally embraced people right where they were at. She served so many people with real “Jesus with skin on” hospitality. She seemed to dance with everyone and when no one was around, she would dance anyway!

Wendy, Thanks for being such an amazing example of love!

We love you Wendy

Dance forever more!
