I have such fond memories of Aunt Nancy and it is hard to believe that she is gone. However we can take great comfort in knowing that she is now in a much better place and re-united with Foy and Fred. Nevertheless, those of us left behind will miss her dearly. She was the last surviving sibling of my father and was a special Aunt. I particularly remember an occasion when Helen and I with our two small children visited Nancy and Foy when they lived in New Jersey. That was such a wonderful visit and Nancy and Foy were most gracious hosts. Our prayers are with the family in your time of sorrow.

I miss my mom. She was always there when my brother, sisters & I needed her. She set the foundation that allowed all of us to succeed in life. I am so sad that she spent the last months of her life in near solitary confinement due to the virus lock down. It is, what it is, and nothing I can do will change it. I will always miss my mom.

It must be so hard to lose your mom so shortly after your dad. Even harder in this terrible difficult time were comforting each other by being together is so hard to do. I hope your Memories together and the fact that she is now with her husband and son will give you some consolation .
