Not sure what to say?

Hello Jack and Charlie,

I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy once in August 2005 shortly before she fell sick through Langley High School Directory work.

Charlie was a freshman in 2005 - and must have completed college now. I cannot believe that It is close to 8 years since Nancy became an angel.

Just read all your emails and wanted to say - it was a difficult time and I am sure time has healed some of the pain. I hope and pray you are both doing well.

I can only imagine the pain of your loss but I hope and pray that with the passage of time a flood of warm memories will wash away the pain of this time.
Charlie, I hope the knowledge that you were loved unconditionally by an awesome woman will become a source of strength. You will no doubt become a young man of great character, integrity, faith and compassion who your mother will be very proud of as she watches you from above.
Jack, I know you and Charlie count yourselves...

We never forget
the ones who touch our lives -
Nancy showed us love.

We have all been blessed to know Nancy and the family she loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Nancy, I only met you few times, but you bravery as described by your husband and my friend Jack sounds beautiful. Yesterday I was on a tour of French Biblical Archeology Institute and the adjacent St. Stephan church in Jerusalem. I was thinking of you and I spoke to the Belgian born priest Father Christian about you and your family. Also how I was truly impressed by your husband Jack and your son Charlie's love and devotion to you, Rest in peace friend

Nancy was a joy to be with and a blessing to know. Her legacy enriches the lives of those of us noted here in the Guest Book and many, many more in the greater community of those touched by her humor, care and kindness. We are grateful for the moments we had and for the memories that we shall always treasure.

We had the great privilege of making the acquaintance of Nancy for the first time in the closing year of her life. She made an instant impression. Wife of Former Congressman Jack Buechner, who was President of Former Members of the U.S. Congress from 2004 to 2006, she accompanied Jack to Brussels and London in official and unofficial visits for meetings inter alia with officers of the Associatioin of Former Members of the European Parliament. There it was that we met her and were...

Dear Jack and Charlie,

God gave us memories so we can have roses in December.

There are no words. Wishing you both health, understanding and peace.

with all love and honouring of your life together,

Charlie and Jack -- Like so many other people, your dear Nancy was a special friend to me. How many people would give so much time and energy to helping me during my "great flood." She was a friend and ally through that ordeal, and other, more personal, "issues." I appreciate her every day. And every time I walk in my basement to see the magic she worked on my mess, I think about this special friend. She will remain in our hearts. My prayers are with you both.
