My dear aunt you were presented so many challenges in the past two years, and through them all you continued to push yourself everyday and never gave up. I don't know how you did it, but I'm so proud of you. When I got the call early Monday morning, I rushed to the hosiptal, hoping for one more day, but that was not God's plan. My heart was broken and I wept like a liitle boy. Simone and I tried our best to comfort and love you. I already miss our 6pm daily phone calls. You will always be in our memories. With love your nephew...

Nancy was Director of Nursing at Whitehall Nursing Home when I was Administrator. She was a highly skilled and professional nurse. She was also warm and friendly to all of the residents and families that she cared for. Nancy was respected by her staff. I was honored to be not only a colleague but a friend. We have all lost a fine friend and member of the human race.
