Nancy Joy Burke Graf

Don, As I read some of the letters of condolence that are addressed to your wife Nancy, I was thinking to myself, what can I write or say? Then, as in a dream, it came to me. Simply "tell the truth" about what I remember about your wife Nancy.

Yes, I can remember, staring with our "hike up the mountain side" our walks on the beaches at...

Aunt Nancy,
You hold a special place in my heart. The joy you brought to me every time I would see you. The memories from many years will always remain. You've been an inspiration in my life and gave me strength and strong words of wisdom. You were so full of love and acceptance and the bond I had with you will never be broken. You will always live inside me deep within my heart. You are gone, but will never be forgotten.
All My Love- Your niece...

Throughout the years we've known each other, we had a special connection with each other. First, I knew you as my sister-in-law, then we became good friends. We enjoyed many of picnics, camping,Christmas Party Dances and other special occasions. You took me under your wing as another one of your daughters. I enjoyed all the times we shared together. I was very grateful that you took the time to make my beautiful wedding gown, right down to the details of the picture I gave you. You were...

You will be missed by all. your smile and kindness will live on within all your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and everyone's life you had an impact on. I believe you are at peace and will continue to look down on your family. Love you always!!! <3

To me, mom, was a beautiful women inside and out. Her smile, her personality, her laughter, all would light-up the room. As a mom she was the BEST. I remember girls night, walks, rides in the car, music and dancing in our seats when we took rides. Mom, we had a great time. I will never forget.

Not a day goes by that I miss you so much. I take comfort in the fact you are with your Mom and Dad. Of all the memories to remember, I always come back to the 5 ducklings behind the mother duck going to the beach. You are missed and loved always. Your oldest daughter Karen
