Not sure what to say?

Rest in Peace Nancy

I still miss her. She was gentle and kind to me always. To all my cousins, just know, Aunt Nancy is in Heaven with my mom having a great time together! Love Betsi

Miss her still. When I came with my mom to visit her busy house, there was always a smile and a hug. I always wanted sisters but got 2 brothers instead. At the Smythe household Aunt Nancy made me feel like I did, all 5 of the girls and that I fit in too!

Aunt Nancy loved brushing all her daughters' hair. Once when Mom and I went to the Smythe house early in the day, Aunt Nancy was just finishing up her girls' hair. I was little and was watching very closely at what she was doing. She smiled at me and asked me if I wanted my hair brushed too. I grinned, sat down and got my hair brushed too. I'm glad that Mom is up there with you now, Aunt Nancy. Betsi

She was a wonderful aunt to me and my mother loved her like a sister. She was an amazing mother who raised
five beautiful girls and one amazing son. I spent many happy hours in her house and still share memories of her with my cousins.

On this, the anniversary of my Aunt Nancy's death, I'd like to say that she was very kind to a shy little girl and always knew the right things to say to me. I still miss her.

I will miss my Aunt Nancy who has always been a bright spot in my life! She was a rare lady of the highest caliber whose kindness helped a very shy little girl always feel comfortable and special in her presence despite all the other kids around.

Dear Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing, she was a good friend of my mother Jean Mattson. Unfortunately I will be out of town the day of the funeral but you will be in my prayers.

Kathleen,
So sorry to read of the loss of your Mom. She had a full life and was such a wonderful Mom to all of you. She will be missed greatly. I hope all your wonderful memories will help you at this sad time.
