I will miss you sweetheart, but my memories of you will be in my heart forever. I remember the last time I saw you, you were so full of love, life and laughter. Just so YOU!!! I found a poem that reminded me of you and your gardening. I wanted to add it just for you.
"A beautiful garden now stands alone,
missing the one who nurtured it
But now she is gone,
Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind,
The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay,
she loved every flower even some that were weeds,
So much love she would plant with each little seed,
But just like her flowers she was part of Gods plan,
So when it was her time he reached down his hand,
He look through the Garden searching for the best,
That's when he found Nancy, it was her time to rest,
It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go,
But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing Nancy, remember if you just wait,
When God has a spot in his garden, She'll meet you at the gate...."
Well hun..... until we meet again, you will always remain in my heart. I love you. Aunt Patty

Nancy, you will be missed so much, you have no idea. You have brought me smiles and laughter to some of the antics that you did while growing up. Your Mom told me so many stories. When I saw you last you looked so beautiful and it was wonderful spending time with you. The poem below I found and it really spoke to me as it reminded me of you and your garden.
