I just read this tonite and my sincere condolences to Brad and his family.

Wendy is proud of you, Brad. She doesn't want you to stop but wants you to continue on to move forward in your goals.

I about lost my father due to prostate cancer in which they got it it time, but now after 25 years from the surgery, there might be remnaints that are now growing due to his PSA blood scans readings are increasing.

I know what cancer is like for I've had two boughts of the stuff and radiation treatments aren't too fun.

Luckily, I caught these in time, but still doing my twice a month checkups.

For all who read this: Just please pay attention to the 7 danger signs of possible cancer set by the ACS and if any areas are of concern, get to the doc pronto.

Oh, the car looks great-glad it all came together and can rip down the track in style ... should paint it pink for Wendy, or at least a nice gloss black with a pink pinstripe down the sides.

Good luck as always and keep the faith going strong. DSM

My best wishes and prayers to all of you, I've been out of it for a couple weeks, and was hoping to catch up to something better. Keep the memory and spirit alive. Godspeed.
 
my deepest condolences go out to you brad, i read this entire thread and have been reading for about 3 hours now ( internet conection sucks ) had i seen this when this thread first opened i would have donated $3000 and a auto tranny with a 3500 stall kit. I know this is a very hard time for you as i just lost my dad to type 2 diabetes, we were really really close and he had always helped me work on my dsm. we must remember to always keep these people close to us as like you had said we are not promised another day. i can hounestly say i did cry reading this thread and i have you in all of my thoughts and prayers. if there is still decals to be purchased send me a pm and i will purchase one, also if there is a t shirt i may pick up one of those too.

r.i.p. wendy you will be missed by all of the dsm comunity

my deepest condolences

Wow,
Just spent well over an hour reading most of this. It really is hart braking and I couldn't imagine losing my wife. I'm really sorry to here this, I teared up a few times. I hope things go well for you and your family and our prayers are with you. Good luck with the car.

It is very heart breaking. And i bought 2 one for my dsm and one of my daily so I can look at my back glass and be fortunate to still have the loved ones that i have in my life and remember those that we will always miss.
 
I just spent the last few hours reading this whole entire thread. I don't think I have ever spent that amount of time reading one thread. This is the exact reason why I am so happy to be in such a great community. I am extremely sorry for your loss. I am sure Wendy will be with you your first pass down the 1320!

R.I.P Wendy.
 
Wow, I can't believe this. I used to talk to her on aim back in the day. This is crazy. My condolences to your family. I haven't checked this site in a long time and never expected THIS. I really don't know what to say, I wish I had a chance to help out with the car. I'm sure you will fulfill her dream and she can rest in peace.
 
She may be gone in body but here spirit will rest in the Car and you and your family. So do something better than 10s take her to the 9s i know you can do it.


R.I.P. Wendy!!!!!!! YOU WILL GET TO THE 10s AND BEYOND!!!!!!!
 
Or maybe you shouldn't have asked for anything, and laid some cash down yourself on it. When this is all said and done with are the parts being returned to the people that bought them or are you keeping them and the car to enjoy?

This is a ridiculous question. He will do as he pleases with them. ENOUGH SAID
 
Is there anyway I can send money to help pay for your hospital bills? I had no parts to send but I want to contribute!
 
I know Im a little late but I just wanted to say Im in Shock about this horrific news. Im an old timer here on these boards and havnt visited often to know what was going on with Wendy's health. I learned about this news just now. Im so saddened by this.

She inspired me in many different ways. Id always send her an IM on aim to ask her questions about her fwd build, since at the time i was trying to figure out if dumping money in a fwd car was worthy..but hearing of her make those amazing passes really impressed me. She was truly a great person and we will miss her. RIP Wendy.
 
I was looking thru Steve's gallery the other day that had all of Wendy's pictures in there and it made me wonder the same thing. I know all the mods are finally there, but has the car been able to hit the goal yet?
 
Hi fellow DSMers,


It has been a LONG time since I have been able to bring myself to post. Wendy's car is in the garage and will make it down the track. I have had to take some personal time to get myself together before I climb in this beast and attempt to get it down the 1320.

If I have not shown much love for all those that contributed to this 545hp bolt on turbo beast, I am truly sorry!!! I ASSURE each and every one of you that it will get to the track soon for some shake down passes. I am scared of the car but I guess I should be....heh. I will never be able to drive it as Wendy would but I will do what I can to get that 10 sec pass she always wanted.

"Wendy Renee Pate, I love you and so does this community! We all miss you and we know you are doing some crazy racing up there."

Best wishes,
Brad Pate
 
Great to hear from you Brad.:) I can't imagine how you still feel, but I know you will do a great job in the car when the time comes.:thumb: I can't wait to see/hear what the car can do! Good luck and keep your head up. We're all still here for you.:)
 
I wish you the best. Hope to hear results of your conquest and hoping to hear that you achieve the goal that everyone has tried to help to achieve. Videos would be great if possible.

Any personally, I don't feel any need for apologies. If people on this board can't understand your loss, and the loss your children have had to face, then apparently they have some issues. I'd hate to have to face the same trials. But don't worry man, some of us (if not all) are with ya and she is also in our thoughts. Even if we haven't met her.
 
Brad we are headed to coastal tomorrow if you want to head up. I know its a bit short notice, but let me know when you do decide to head out with it.
 
Brad, Wendy was not only a pioneer to the dsm world but i think that she was more of an inspiration to me. I wish you the best of luck and i wanted to know if i could donate money to get one of those decals. Best of luck, sorry about your loss

-Dan
