I just learned of Dina's passing and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to the family. Dina shared a room with my grandma Eleanor at village on the isle and I always enjoyed talking with dina. She was so sweet and loved her family so much. xo Megan Martin
A memory of Dina Wedler , in the last decade I have been privileged an blessed to talk wt two very special people , my great aunt an uncle . What makes them special is their strong faith , words of encouragement and their absolute knowing who they are and where they were going . This past year when I fell ill, the encouraging words of my aunt and uncle would not just come to mind but to my spirit , see ,my aunt and uncle saw leaving this world an bodies as only a step up to a better place which gave me peace . They hurt and mourned for those who do not know or understand what they know , they know that they are children of God and know after they take their last breath here on earth they will be present with Jesus they knew their old bodies that were broken would be in perfect health when in heaven because of their faith they didn't fear death as some may . They hurt for those whom turned and walked away from their faith and mourn for those who don't know Jesus the way they did. They wanted people whom they know an love to have this unexplainable peace and joy that they had and it's only through knowing Jesus as their Lord and savior , you see that my aunt and uncle were wonderful vessels here for time to be lanterns that let the light of Christ shine for others may have the hope as they did . And I want to one day thank them personally for sharing their faith for I pray I can be a bright useful lantern in as they were for me . - in love , Mary Lynn Wedler yennie

Saddened by the passing of our dear friend and family member Dina.
We lost one of the most beautiful ladies who had a heart of Gold and the
thoughtfulness to care for our well being for so so many years. She was
loving, caring and generous in sharing her time with others especially the
Nieves Family who loved her. We lost a wonderful lady. We loved her and
will miss her dearly for years to come. May God care for her in his kingdom
with her loving husband Ray, dear son Paul and mother Mrs. Reyes.
The Nieves Family
My dear Dina I miss my kindred spirit friend. We both had a wonderful time sharing Jesus stories and now you are there in His presence. The prayers, cards, phone calls and keeping each other accountable will be missed. George and I loved you and Ray as family and were so blessed to share your lives. We will meet again in heaven. Mary and George McGee
Darlene and Aden, I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved your Mother and Grandmother. I always looked forward to her coming in my shop to get her hair done. It was such an enjoyment to chat with her. We shared so many things, and I knew how much she loved the both of you. I remember her bringing Aden in to get his hair cut.. She was a beautiful Christian woman. I know that she is with God now and her son and husband. They were such a sweet couple. My heart goes out to you both. my Prayers are with you at this time. You have such precious memories of her. I will always remember what a special lady that she was.

About forty years ago, I became a born again Christian and immediately felt that it was my responsibility to save the world. In this endeavor, I shared a gospel tract with a Ray Wedler. He read it, believed what it said and handed it off to his son , Paul, who also believed and wrote it in his journal. Upon Paul’s passing, this entry brought welcomed relief to the Wedler’s that although not present in the flesh, they knew that their son was safe in heaven with Christ.
After this, Ray and I developed a close Christian relationship and when he passed, I was determined to have that same relationship with his wife Dina. I would call her once every 2 weeks and we would share the love and joy that only Born again believers can acquiesce with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This long distance phone relationship lasted for the better part of 2 years even until the day before she departed. I will not only miss her as a friend but as a sister in the Lord who encouraged me, my wife and prayed for my daughter as seriously as any family member. She would share her love of Christ with me and then would ask, towards the end of our phone call, if I would close with a prayer! When we think of saints, perhaps we think of those in the scripture or those in Foxe’s book of martyrs; however, my saint is Dina Esther Wedler. Go in peace, Dina. We will miss you dearly! – Frank Mendolia
