My sincerest condolences to Nancy's son, and his family, Diane's children, her brother Joseph, and all of Nancy's family, and friends. Nancy was very special to me. My beloved mother Tina, and her were first cousins. The 3 of us would go to the Broadway diner together. After my mother passed away Nancy, and I went a few times. Nancy was one of the most loving, and caring person in my life. I miss her dearly. Rest in peace Nancy, and remember I will always love you.

It's Sunday and and thinking of calling you to see how you are doing. I could always know how you were feeling by the way you would say "Hello". I will miss hearing your voice but now I can talk to you anytime and I know you will hear me. I will always remember the fun we had growing up and your sense of humor.
I think you got it from dad. My world is not going to be the same without you. Thank God for memories. Say hello to our family in heaven and someday we all will be together again. I love you. Rest in Peace Nancy.
