Claire, Andrew and Ron,
Fay and I are sorry for your loss. My Cousin Nancy was a beacon of enthusiasm for our family. I remember her when she was a child in Toronto, from family visits through the years and from her own visits to connect with the Canadian contingent. She was always solicitous of my mother, Anne Marie Walke, and made a number of trips to see her. She was fiercely loyal to her family and we will miss her.
I have posted a photo from summer 1970 in Frank Walke's garden.

We are saddened to hear the news of Dr. Anderson's passing. We enjoyed getting to know her over the years as a subscriber to the Houston Chamber Choir. She had a passion for life and music. She will be missed.

Claire and Andrew, I have just heard of your mother's passing and am both shocked and saddened. We always loved when our "American Cousins" came up for a visit and admired your mom's passion and enthusiasm. She will be greatly missed.

We were very saddened to hear from our cousin Michael tonight that our dear cousin Nancy had died suddenly.
Our deepest condolences to Ronnie, Claire and Norbert, and Andrew. We wish we had known so that we could have been there for the funeral service.
Nancy's visits to Toronto were always a highlight when she would invite the entire Canadian family to get together with her. And she was here for us when we lost our brothers. She will never be forgotten and we know she is happy in heaven with the rest of her family.
