To the Nestor family, your mom meant a lot to me, she has touched my life in so many ways. I remember way back from when we played hide and go seek in the Blair's back yard, (Tim, Scott & Steve) every week at st pat's, then almost everyday at the store to buy my cigarettes that she didn't want to sell To me. For some reason, I can't seem to remember if she even was the crossing guard for a short while to Balmer school, while crossing North main street. There are no words none of us can write, nor any stories that we may tell that can take the heartbreak away you must be feeling. Faith and time are the only things that help, and the prayers from all of us that care. I feel very certain, god, your dad and your brother Patrick will keep her quite busy and comfortable until you meet again for eternity.

Auntie Gloria, you are and always will be my angel. You were ALWAYS there for me as a child and made sure my heart was happy and my walk with God was solid! As a children's pastor today, I often reflect on times with you as what a child/mentor relationship looks like. Times of loss make us reflect on the things we take for granted and relationships that have fallen to the wayside; I live in anticipation of an eternity with you where we can worship our hevenly Father together and enjoy fellowship with each other. It will take eternity to tell you how much you've meant to me! I love you!

There are certain neighbors as a child you never forget. Mrs Nestor was one of them. She tried to guide all of us village kids in the right direction. Whether we liked it or not. She was a very sweet and carrying woman and my deepest sympathies go out to her whole family . R.I.P.
