Dear Nancy: I just read this as I am in Florida for the winter. I like my brother, learned so much about having fun from your Dad. He came from good folks, Grampa Stu was quite a guy, Grandma Ida was a peach, I still make Super Duper Chocolate cookies from your Aunt Katie's recipe and you know you will always be my girl. We need to get together when I get home in May. I'm sorry you lost these two wonderful people so close together; but they are together again, as they should be. They were the...

Nancy, just heard about your dad and our thoughts and prayers are with you! We miss you and think of you often. That day we talked it ended up that my dad had blood clots shoot up to his lungs but he is ok and getting better! But this made me think about you even more. Been way busy but will call soon! Miss you and always in our thoughts and prayers! Brian, Genie, Josh and Becca Murra

Dear Nancy, my name is Jerry Livasy,I'm 70 years old and I remember the thorpe family very well.
We lived on Van Lue Court just across from them.we were poor folks(even tho I did't know it then).I think Billy and Jimmy(as I knew your Dad)Must have adopeted me in a way because I received A real drum set from Billy and a bicycle from Jimmy for Christmas when I was about 9 0r 10 yEARS OLD!!!
i will never forget the wonderful basement of trains at Jimmys house!!!!

Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, Nancy. I'm part of the Thorpe family tree that was started by George Washington Thorpe. I think you also are part of it. Sorry we couldn't meet on happier circumstances. If you want to get in touch it is Richard O'Neill.

Dear Nancy, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad & so soon after your Mom. I know you will miss them both . Try to remember all of the good times. You were a very good daughter. You have my deepest sympathy. Colleen Mata
