To all of us who lost a loving sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt, lets cherish the many happy memories of Nancy's life, as long as we will mourn her passing. There was no more loving smile, and no laughter more cheerful, than aunt Nancy's. May her soul rest in peace, and may her family continue to be sheltered, and comforted, by her endless love.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow. I cared for your mom a few times when floated to her unit at St. John's. She was always a pleasure to sit and talk with.

To the Mangione family. A beautiful flower is gone from your garden but her grace and beauty live on. She was a sweet, lovely lady. We are so sorry for your loss-it is always hard to lose a parent. Sadly we are unable to attend the Memorial Mass, but we are thinking of all of you and the wonderful family she has left behind.

To all the Mangione Family, especially to Ardis and Steve with whom I am especially acquainted, as well as Gap and Chuck (who I don't know quite as well personally) I send my deepest sympathies.
My own mother (who passed herself in 2005) went to Jefferson High School with your mom/grandmother (Class of 35 I believe) and spoke fondly of seeing her again at their 50th anniversary reunion in 1985. I met her myself at Steve (Lindley's) swearing in a couple years ago, and she impressed me as being a very lovely lady. I think you have all been very blessed.
My regrets for not making it to the memorial this morning, however my prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
God bless!

Carmen and Michael, I read of your sister's passing in today's D&C and was amazed by the way she touched the lives of those she met. She was a great lady, as evidenced by the family she raised and the talents of Chuck and Gap. God bless you all, there is much to be thankful for in her long life.
