Mike- Ryan and his family joined me at Ames Farm again. The three children and Ryan sat on the couch looking through the Ames three ring binder that Ross made over the years. They asked many questions about who is this boy(Eric) or this boy( Nick) ? and who is their mommy? The pictures of Nancy on the raft with her furry friend from home brought giggles and smiles.
Good memories of your beautiful wife and family.

When we read Nick's Facebook entry about his sadness since his mother's passing, we couldn't believe what we were reading. Please know, Mike, Eric, Chelsea and Nick, Ross and I will forever remember your mother's welcoming spirit. She always opened her heart and gave us a big hug each year we drove into Ames Farm Inn...thirty five years. She was a second mother to Ryan and a fifth sister to me. We loved floating in the lake sharing stories of how the previous year unfolded in our lives. She so enjoyed Ross' Ames Farm Album. She had such fun seeing the kids grow over the years. We will miss her dearly. May all her good memories bring you a peaceful calm as your family lives each day.

Sorry to hear about Nancy. I knew her a long time ago when she was a skinny highschool kid at Central Congo church. We had fun back then. I thought of her a lot over the years. You don't really miss something--people, places, time--until you know it's gone.
