    Dear Terry, Jamie, Jennie and family,

    Joe and I extend our deepest condolences during this very difficult time.
    Wendy was a beautiful person that will remain in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. I will miss her postings and her great sense of humor. I will never be able to look at the ocean/beach or watch another Patriots game without thinking of her.
    I hope you are all able to find the strength in the memories she left behind.
    Hugs
    Love,
    Ana Calandrelli

    Wendy was the sister Jonathan and I never had, but so glad, as she introduced us…Wendy has always been a voice of reason and a wonderful sounding board; insightful, guiding, non-judgmental, helpful, strong, and forever her fabric was always loving. We will miss her pure soul and her legacy lives on with the family Terry and her built with loving daughters, Jennie and Jamie, and her adored grandchildren, their bubby — with every picture she could share or story she could recount. Wendy, you are exemplary and we will all severely miss you – with eternal love… Jonathan, Bonnie, Jaclyn, Zach, & Justin.

    Professor Moscovitz was a wonderful professor and taught me so much about being a great teacher. I am so upset to hear of her passing, and my thoughts are with her family. Rest in peace, Professor Moscovitz.

    Wendy was bright, insightful, thoughtful, and skillful. But most of all she possessed an ability to express sensitive matter in a caring and professional manner. And, if that were not enough, she had a wit and sense of humor to make you comfortable in the most difficult situation. As a principal, with a faculty of the most talented teachers that a school could have, Wendy was respected and admired for her work and collegiality. She will be greatly missed and I’ve lost a wonderful friend. My sincere sympathy and prayers to her family.

    My deepest condolences to the entire family. Wendy has been a part of my lifetime memories through our family, school, Temple Sinai, college, vacations, sports, and Narragansett Beach. You were a shining light that left us all too soon. Rest in Peace.

    My heart goes out to you all at this sad, difficult time.
    My sisters and I enjoyed many hours on the beach when our families summered at Pettaquamscutt. Such wonderful memories of fun and carefree years. I suspect that this is when Wendy’s love of the beach took root.
    With my deepest sympathy,
    Joanne
