I loved you mom so much--thinking of you and your family at this hard time. She was always one of my favorites! :)
So many things remind me of you. Fishing, singing, maple syrup, coffee, cooking and the list goes on forever. SO many life lessons that I have learned and that I cherish because of you. I just hope that I can be half as amazing as you were. Please watch over us from heaven.
I am saddened by the loss of Aunt Nancy, I have good memories of being at her and Uncle Larry's house when I was a littel girl. I always wished we lived closer. I know she will be missed. My love and prayers go out to her children and their famlies.
I hope heaven has some chocolate covered cherries ready and waiting for you. And a pot of coffee ready to pour.
May God bless you all as you go through this difficult time. Your mom - grandma was a special ladie who dearly loved and was proud of her family. It's to bad that we live so far away, wish we could have spent more quality time with Nancy, Larry and the family, but the times we did spend were always special. Nancy will be missed as a member of our great family.
Love, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dave
I will miss you telling me "It's time to go home now. I'm kicking you out of here so you can get some sleep." I will never forget how you always worried and fussed for others before yourself. Love you.
I'm deeply sadden by your loss Nancy.. Although I never knew you. I can truly tell though you were quite a woman, by the loving person your daughter Mary is.. By your influence she is a fantastic woman. This says to me you were one terrific mom.... I know you are at peace... Mary, Alan and Magan... I love you guys sooo much.... I feel like a member of the family... Im so sorry this wonderful lady has passed.... Hugs... Love you all!!!!
You will be missed aunt Nancy. You cared so much about the young people in the family.
