Mom,



Not a day goes by without a memory I have of you being a on-of-a kind mother. I miss the times when I could stop by to talk to you of daily situations and you would make my problems go away. You knew of the troubles I was having adjusting to my new job back here in CT. But because I was brought back here for a reason, which was to help you and Dad during the sadest days of our lives, I will make it work. I know that you are still here with me to help me through these new challenges. Every day I look for a new sign that your presence is still around me.

I will always love you and never forget anything you taught me throughout my life.

Dear Nancy,



I love you, I miss you and I pray for you. Sorry you had to leave so soon, you still had so many things to do. But God thought you would be better off helping up there. Thank you for the beautiful memories of the life we shared together. In our early days of courting, you gave me a new life, you know what I mean. We were blessed with two wonderful boys and now we have five wonderful grandchildren. You were a big giant of a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, mother-in-law, cousin, aunt, friend to all. The dictionary does not have enough words to describe what kind of a woman you were. I remember all the great times we had together, which can not be replaced. You made my life very special for the 40 years of our marriage, which can never be replaced. You gave and never asked for anything in return, just say please or thank you and that was enough. I will try to stay strong which you would want me to do. I will be ok, the boys will make sure of it. I hope the angels will give you the care which you deserve. Please set the table for me, I will see you in heaven. God Bless You.



Love Always,



Donny

I knew Nancy for several years working with her at Tyco in Manchester she was a true lady and a good friend. I was sorry to here of her passing we will all miss her cheerful smile. I had many walks with her up to the town garage to get material that was needed.

Nancy, I have known you for many years, growing up with the Gilman girls. Who would have known many years later you would become my sister-in-law. You made my brother happy for many years. Two great sons, who you loved dearly. Your two daughters-in-laws and 5 grandchildren who you adored. We will all help watch over this great family "The Logans". I will miss you Nan.

I have known Nancy from high school days, through her sister, my dear friend. I am proud to say Nancy became my sister-in-law, she was also my friend and most like a sister. I have lots of wonderful memories of Nancy, we had lots of laughts together. She was always there for me and I will miss her very much.

I always enjoyed our Sunday after church visits with our tea and chats about our family and grandchildren.

At Nancy's service her niece Missy couldn't have said it better, that was Nancy.

I will forever remember you Nancy. God Bless you and look down on us like the Water Bug in the story.



Love you, Beverly

To my uncle, cousins and their families,



We have lost a significant memeber of our family. I will always remember Aunt Nancy for her laughter and smiles. She was always there for us. When we needed a shoulder to cry on or a friendly ear to listen. She never judged. She would just listen and let us search for the answers ourselves. I hold such wonderful family memories and she will never be forgotten. It saddens me that she had to leave so soon. I hope that we can all stay close and we never have to experience such sadness anytime soon.

As our lives lead different paths our friends are never forgotten from our lives. They are thought about often.

I am sorry I cannot make it to the services. She always had my utmost respect.

For a time I was a part of Nancy's life,and I saw the kind of mother, sister and special friend that she was. She was a wonderful woman who will be missed greatly. She raised two very wonderful boys and had her husband always by her side.

God bless her family and friends at this time of sorrow. Never forget the wonderful memories and times shared together.

Rest in peace Meamer. You will forever remain in my heart.
