Nancy Priest Vachon

To the VachonFamily,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Nancy, as you well know, was a very special lady. The times myself and family spent at your home at gatherings with the YFU kids were so memorable. She really made a difference in so many ways. I'll truly miss her.

Like many others, I had the joy of working with Nancy for the last 7 years. To her boys, I am deeply sorry for your loss. She was an amazing woman and will be missed greatly.

Dear Donna,
I am so sorry to hear about Nancy. My sister Rebecca told me this weekend. I cannot imagine what you are going through. In reading these postings, I can tell Nancy was much loved. I was just in Portland, Maine last month with my niece and would have loved to have seen you or Nancy. Do take care during this time of grief. And would love to hear from you sometime.
Love,
Tokie

Vachon Family,

I was lucky enough to have worked with Nancy in the float pool. She helped train me as a new nurse and was always an example of patience, kindness, selfless hardwork- and always with a big smile and a contagious giggle now and then. I know I am a better nurse having had her as a mentor and honestly feel blessed to have known her for the past 4 years. She was a wonderful woman.
My deepest sympathy to you all.

Tyler, Travis , and Adam,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I am thinking of you during this difficult and sad time, and hold you and your dad and your mom in my heart and prayers.
With love Joan Elizabeth
( Andrew Orr's Mom)

Nancy .... What I like to think ....

When someone you really have respect and love for dies, it is easy to think that they are now far away.

Even though we haven't spoken in more than a decade ... You are not far away. You have been a part of all that we say, think and do, because it was a pleasure to know you .... of every breath that we breathe; those inhalations shaped by our wealth of experiences in life with people like you.

We are in body on...

Since our graduation I only talked to Nancy at our class reunions. The few times we talked her energy and smile always seemed to to be stronger and brighter. Living in the small town of Groton we started first grade with the same people we graduated high school with. Nancy was a friend too many and always seemed to have time to talk. I can only imagine if Nancy carried the same abilities into her family life and work that she will be missed by many. Although my contact with Nancy had been...

Travis, Adam, and Tyler. Your mother was a very special women, she touched many many hearts and helped so many lives. She always gave of herself, selfishly. I know you are proud of her, I was proud to call her my friend. Please except my deepist and warmest sympathy. Nancy will be truly missed.

I will miss you but I will never forget you. We were co-workers and friends here at work. We were sounding boards for each other.You were great to your pts. and everyone around you. I am so glad our paths crossed.
