Nancy
Was one of the funniest people I have ever known. I remember on many occasions at Immaculate Conception but in one in particular she made all of us laugh right out of our seats. I could barely breathe. She would make this honking laughter sound....Our generations Carol Burnett. She is with her family, her friends, her Jesus. Love jc
