Dear Lapointe Family
My deepest and sincere sympathies for your loss. I was truly heart broken to hear that Nurse Nancy is no loger with us. She was an incredible influence in my life at The Salvation Army's Camp Nathan Hale. She will always have a special place in my heart. May the God of all peace comfort you during this time.

I have so many fond memories of spending time with Nancy over the last thirty years - swimming, trips, restaurants, movies, and her tolerance of my dogs jumping on her! I will miss her and give her family my sympathy and love.

To all the Lapointe family..we send our deepest sympathy. Sorry we cannot attend cause we are in Florida at this time. We talked to her before we left for Florida and planned to see on our return...sorry again but we think she is in a better place.

I worked as the officer manager at Camp CONNRI during the years that Nancy worked there as the nurse. She was a wonderful camp nurse - no nonsense, yet kind! My daughter (who was a toddler at the time) would visit Nurse Nancy every day for a "band-aid" and was always greeted enthusiastically by Nancy.
I'm praying that our loving, Heavenly Father will give comfort and peace to her family.
