I was sorry to hear just today of both of your mother and brother’s passing. My mom and your mom were friends in Belmont Park. Bruce and I had a few “dates” – we were all of 8 or 9 nine years old I think – at the A & W on the highway. Your mom was always the driver. I was very young but I remember you mom as just being so kind. Please accept my sincere condolences – what a terrible time for you all.

Sheila and Jim,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I’ve only known Nancy for about 7 years but she was so kind to me and my boys during the time that I did know her. She will be missed by all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families in this time of need.

I was very sad to hear that your mom has passed away. She was a beautiful person – always smiling, very sweet and caring. I worked with her many years ago. I visited her a couple times after she retired, but then lost touch. She will be dearly missed!
