Mr. Youngs,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have always looked forward to seeing you and Nancy in Wegmans. She was a wonderful person and it always brightened my day getting to speak with her.

Nan,
Heaven's gain is surely our loss. My heart is breaking, but I'll remember the good times. You were always there for me. Remember when I called you at work so excited because I had seen an eagle? Now you are flying higher than an eagle. You will be sorely missed. I'm grateful for having a sister like you. I expect you to have the whitest wings and shinyest halo.
Until we meet again, peace...

My heart felt sympathy to all of Nancys' family. I only knew her for a few years but she was the kind of person who left you feeling that you had known her forever. I do know that she cared very deeply for every resident, past and present, at the Village.
Rest with the Angels Nancy.
In loving memory,
Sue Kissell(former home health aide)

To Nancy's Family:
There is a verse in the bible that is something like this--goodness and kindness follows you all the days of your life-- and that I feel was and will forever be the Nancy Youngs that I will remember and miss. It's something the last few days going by the office and not "seeing" her at the desk as the two of us go out. I will miss our little chats about the things we both were dealing with for different reasons. To all of her family in your loss let it be known that I am one of many who will and are very gratfull for knowing her. May the angels carry her forward in peace.

Bernie, Missy and family - We have many fond memories of Nancy over many years as our neighbor and close friend. We did have some serious times and some silly and fun times, didn't we? Love you all and pray God will give you strength to get though this. Nancy no longer suffers as she is in Heaven and we will see her again.
