Nancy was a sweet and gentle woman.I saw her often with her dog, who was as devoted to Nancy as Nancy was to her. Like Nancy, I am a lover of dogs and I always notice and appreciate those who truly love and care for them. During our conversations I always felt her kind and gentle spirit. I know that she is at peace.

Nancy,

I didn't know you personally but you have touched my heart and I have not stopped thinking of you. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are lifted to you and to all of your loved ones, especially your daughter. I am sure Carlos was there to welcome you.

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Eskimo Proverb

Nancy, you will be truly missed. You always shared a smile and could give great yard tips. Our neighborhood will never look the same- as you always had the most beautifully manicured yard & landscape. No one could ever come close to the job you did. Rest in peace and know that we will be here to watch over Alexandrea with anything she may need.

October 14, 2010

My dear cousin Nancy words cannot express my heartache at your sudden passing. I wake up each day hoping this is a horrible dream. I know you are now with your beloved Carlos and also am thinking about your beautiful daughter Alexandrea. My thoughts are with her during this difficult time and with Aunt Angie and all our other cousins. All our family is devastated of your passing. We all love you very much and will keep you in our hearts forever. Laurie

Nancy,
I will always remember you with a smile because you always made me laugh. You were like a second mother to me when I was young and I have so many wonderful memories growing up just down the street from your family. The moments of fun and laughter are vivid in my mind, making pierogies, playing with the cats and all the St. Nicks basketball games. You always welcomed me into your home and that's always how I will remember you. So thoughtful, loving, and such a great Mom. You will be missed so so much. I love you and I love you Alexandrea. I am sorry I could not be with you on Friday. I can't apologize enough, but I am here for you whenever you need to talk to an old friend about the good memories. God Bless you Nancy.

Nancy,

I can't believe it....so hard to believe. I miss you as many others do too. We had so much fun whether it was hanging out at Rebecca's house, Margaritta Thursday or even at the FNR shows. I will never forget live band kareokee, thank you so much for being there that night when I was so nervous to get up and sing. No matter the situation, you were always a great person for providing encouragement to me and to others. Many have shared with me the words of encouragement you have shared with them. "If I can do it, you can do it." was your moto. Miss you so much! I love you may you rest in peace. Life is so short here on earth, shorter than what people realize, if one lives to be 80 years here on earth it is only a blink of an eye in Heavan so with being said.....I will see you soon. Muah!
