Whenever I see your car Nancy (which they are everywhere in Newport, Ha, Ha) I find myself looking for you. My disbelief grows larger and my heart grows sadder, UNTIL I see your precious Jack his smile, as infectious as yours ,his eyes that show you the universe through them and his soul that reminds me of you. He is the blessing to all that you left behind. When I saw him at JG's tryouts he was so thrilled that he made it and when I ran in to him at Vans with Stig I was so honored that he asked if he could come play with Max more. I can't wait to have him around because HE REMINDS ME OF YOU!
Rest in Peace Dear Friend
Love,
Amber

To the family,
My heart breaks for you, I’m so sorry for your loss. Having lost my own brother at 33, I feel your pain. I’d run into Nancy several times over the past couple of years, after not see her since high school, what an amazing person. She was always so encouraging, looking to make others feel good, never wanting the spotlight on her, although it was, because she was so beautiful inside and out. I can’t believe it, I’m so sorry, she will be greatly missed.

To the Harrison Family,
Mike and our kids are so deeply saddened about Nancy's departure. We are still reeling from this. We have wonderful memories and many photos...many of her pregancy w/ Jack and myself w/my son. As the Lord would have it, both of our kids are in the same class today and are great friends. I will always remember the lunches and dinners, afternoons walks on the beach, gardening w/ her, bathing our kids together, decorating our homes and the many marqueritas! Lots of fond lifelong memories...Nancy always had a wonderful smile and spirit about her. We are so sad! We will always watch out for little Jack.
We miss you Nancy! May God bless you and keep you.

Dear Harrison Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. Your daughter was such a bright spirit. I have fond memories of her as a child growing up in Westchester and ultimately attending BHS. Although she was 3 school grades older than I, I can remember how kind and helpful she was to us underclassman. My last memory of Nancy was seeing her at the Thrifty's (i.e., Rite Aide) on Golden State Hwy. in the early 90's. We were both buying icecream. I'll never forget as she walked out of the store what a beautiful soul she was. She had such a radiant smile and a deep sincere kindness about her. My thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison Family. Your daughter touched more people than you may have ever realized. Sincerely, Angela (Bambrough) Andreesen

Dear Harrison Family:
the untimely loss of your spouse, mother, daughter, sister and sister-in-law leaves us with teary eyes and empty hands. yet, our Catholic Faith affirms that "at death life is changed not ended." In fact, Nancy's intimate life with the Lord has began and will remain for all eternity. As we pray for the respose of her soul in the arms of the Almighty, may she pray for us.
I have offered Mass for Nancy at St. Peter's, and another Mass for the family in this time of grief and sorrow. May the Lord sustain you and may she rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family during this most difficult time. I have found this poem that I would like to put on here. I hope that is might in some way give you some peace.

We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as GOD calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

I'm certain that your physical heart is very sad at this time. Thankfully you have your spiritual heart to see you through. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Nancy. I am a parish member of Fr. Graig's. He has given us so much comfort in our time of need. Hopefully we can do the same for him. My husband who was physically glind her on earth is probaly taking Nancy by the hand to show her the way around now that he can see. My family and friends will continue to keep your family in our prayers. Betty Zuniga
