Dear family… So sorry to learn of Nancy’s death. We recall her visits to the farm during childhood and our continuing visits in later life at Aunt Lillian’s home. So many good times together. We grieve with you and hope you will find comfort and peace in remembering her. We will be thinking of all of you as you respectfully care for her end of life matters with the visitation and burial at the family plot in Oneida Cemetery. Sorry we can’t travel to be with you. We will look forward to that later. Love and blessings to you all.
Nancy was one of our dearest friends at Paw Paw Lake. I am a newcomer there (only 44years) and met her early on. I was her consulting veterinarian, as she would call me routinely to talk about any question she might have with her animals and to ask if she should call her regular veterinarian and when we were there to join Kip and I at the Board for a Long Island Ice Tea!
To Nancy’s entire family – we are so sorry for your loss. We are grateful that we got to know Nancy these past two years, she was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Although we were unable to attend the visitation today, please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We found peace in the day when we let out our dogs at 6:30am today and as we stepped out on the deck a beautiful red cardinal was singing joyously to us. It was a beautiful moment and we christened the day by saying “Hi Nancy”. She will hold a special place in our hearts and know that you have a special angel watching over you. Our hope is that your sadness will soften with time. Until we see you at the lake,
God bless you all.
