12/05/2020 2:33 am - I know that you have been gone for a while now, but you’re never out of my mind every time I see a baseball game I just think of you never missing any of my games and how you were the best cook in the whole world no one will ever be as good as you. I still love and think about you everyday and I hope to see you again one day to tell you all my amazing accomplishments that I have done. I love you Grandma.

Nancy you left us way too soon. Don't know what I am going to do now that we won't have our phone conversations about crafting. Their won't be a day that goes by that I will look up and smile. Rest In Peace my friend. Until we meet again, Godspeed.

Such a kind and gentle woman Nancy was. Growing up she was the best neighbor. One favorite memory was our spare key on the yellow shoe horn key chain from the day(s) I forgot my key when I got home from school. She would not tell my parents (or maybe she did). The boys loved playing at Nancy park and she was always so welcoming to them. I am so sorry for your loss. My children and husband were sad to hear this. My oldest son said she is with God watching us from above. Our deepest sympathies. Teri Parins Ogiba and family
