Nancy was a lovely good hearted lady, loved her family deeply. She was full of music & fun, taking up playing bagpipes late in life & doing well with it. I think of her with respect & admirationI am glad to renember her & the times we had.

Dear Joda Family--Your mom was simply the most wonderful person in the world, but you already know that! I was so glad to hear you all were so present to her these last 8 months and what a send-off! What a beautiful crossing over to heaven. May her precious love continue to surround you and be your comfort and inspiration for all the days ahead. Blessings--Mary Testin

Dear Cousins, My deepest sympathies. Aunt Nancy's Funeral Mass was a lovely tribute and a testament of her love of God, family, children, music, and nature. Her warmth and kindness will be missed, but it will continue on in the lives of her family and all those she touched. Sending you all a gentle hug.

What a grand lady and beautiful soul . How lucky for us to have met her now and then at Cabrini, to have been around her and her warm, welcoming spirit. Now I hear of all the instruments she played, all the precious music she brought into the world, the children she nurtured, both her own ( We at Cabrini get to have Chris All the time, yay!) and her students in bands and choruses. Her memory lives on in the lives of many and in all the good, the beauty she brought forth into the world. Fly...

An amazing lady with a lovely smile, so welcoming, which we were lucky to experience first hand on our visits to our son Simon, his wife Melissa and adorable Grandsons Callum and Archer. Nancy achieved so much in her long life, an added interest was how the game of cricket was played! which she enjoyed discussing with us. Short but happy memories of our time spent in her company.

Thinking of all the Joda's during this difficult time! Loved seeing the pictures of Mrs. Joda! She was an amazing person and so strong for such a little person! I remember listening to her play her bagpipes on 81st street! May God be with you all during this difficult time!
