Nancy may the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your face.
May god hold you in the hallow of his hand.
Condolences to Nancy's family.

Nancy Savage Skinner was the funniest and most original woman in a family of astonishingly original women. She will be greatly missed.

But am glad for you both that you had 48 great years together. And we´ll all be together again someday. Again, Skins my condolences to you and your family on your great loss. See you Thursday. My best, Dapper
