I just opened up the laptop at work and this has me shook up. All the best to Brad and the family in these tough times. She will never be forgotten.

Oh my God. That's so sad. My sympathies go to the Pate family. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. I kept up with Wendy's post since the beginig hoping and praying that she would make it through this tough time. She is definitley in a better place. This from the beging has been one of the most amazing stories I've ever read. Both my wife and I when explaied to her what was going on and what has happened now, lost it . I didn't personally know Wendy but know that she was a trully remarkable person and I know that her Legacy will stay alive in her family and in Our hearts forever.

Definitely not the way I wanted this to turn out at all.

RIP Wendy Pate.

Brad, the kids, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, as are you. I'm sure when your car makes it down the track this year, you'll make the best co-pilot ever, as I know you'll be there in spirit.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this tough time.
RIP Wendy and you will never be forgotten

Rest in peace Wendy, we know you fought long and hard, you will not be forgotten. Condolences to Brad & the Pate family.

All the guys at JNZ Tuning

I'm sure I'm not the first man to come to tears reading this, I doubt I'll be the last.

I have no other words.

I've been following this from the GVR-4 boards. This is truly a sad day in the Mitsubishi community and she will definitely be missed.

RIP brad you know if you need anything the local guys are here man.

I am so sorry to hear this. All my prayers and condolunces are pouring out to you and your family, Brad. Be strong.

~Steve.

Im sorry to hear about this, rest in peace wendy.

Wow, just wow. This is horrible news. I never met her in person, but reading this brought tears to my eyes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Oh how painful it is to read this. I feel great sorrow for the family and friends of those close to Wendy to them I offer some guidance of hope and peace.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
-John 14:1-3

Man, I had only spoken with Wendy a few times but this has me tore up for some reason. Such a sad day! I was hoping she'd get to run the car.

I will be sending a ton of prayers your families way. God Bless!

Very very sad. wasnt expecting to read this. I highly feel for the family. I lost a very close uncle to cancer two months ago. The rest in peace is much beter than the pain that is cause by the cancer. My condolances go to the family. Just don't give up.

Wow. This is just horrible news. I never met Wendy, but have kept up with the build and really admired her passion and dedication. I'm actually writing this with tears in my eyes, all over someone I've never had the pleasure of meeting even. She was a fighter for sure, a lot tougher than I could ever imagine to be. I can guarantee I will be reminded of her every time I am at the track, and I know somehow she will be there with all of us watching and cheering us on. My prayers go out to Brad and all of Wendy's family and friends. This is a very sad time in the DSM community

RIP WENDY !!!!! I wasn't able to pitch in with any parts and what-not as i've been out of the DSM scene for quite some time now but I must say GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE THAT GOT INVOLVED !!!!!!! Truely amazing guys......Seems like sometime down the road it would be nice to see this car with some type of rememberance paint scheme...My prayers go out to brad's family and I hope you can get thru these tough times ! God Bless !!!!!!

Very saddening news. My condolences to the family.

Couldnt have said it better. I have a thought. Would anyone be interested in a special tuners decal in rememberance of wendy? Have all proceeds go to the pate family for some extra help in this sad time.

Over at mitsu-media we are working on a decal to be made in rememberance of Wendy as we speak. It will end up being $5 a sticker, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Pate family. The design should be done soon, and we plan on going around the forums asking for people to purchase them as well. Just thought you should know.

My heart dropped when I read this. I followed this story all the way through and it was such an inspiration. RIP Wendy... I hope your story lives on and the car still goes 10's cause I know you will be watching.
My heart goes out to all the family and friends of Wendy for their incredible loss. Lets all try and not mourn the loss, but celebrate the life!

I'm getting one of those stickers and its never coming off.

Kool someone has already started on the sticker. Let us know when they are done and I will definately purchase one. Also if you have a design already made up you should post it up so we here on tuners can see what it is goin to look like.
To the rest of the Pate family: My thoughts are with you in this hard time. Dont give up. I want to see you tear up the 1320 in her car.
