Nancy H. Bolstad

I have some great memories of roaming NY with Nancy during the New York Gift Show! Curious, fun-loving and a bit of a sly jokester are some words that come to mind when I think of Nan. I've know Nan for over 25 years. Always looked forward to seeing her at shows and catching up on our families. You have my heart-felt condolences, Bill.

Dear Bill and Family,

I didn't know Nan, but it sounds like she was wonderful! I'm sure you must have many great memories of her.

We were so sorry to hear of Nan's passing. We will always remember her warm smile and gracious manner. Our sympathies to you, Bill, and your family, as you mourn the loss of your life and business partner.

So sorry to hear of Nan's passing. I remember you from the Thousand Springs Festival. Your work is beautiful and I admired both of you at the time we met. I am sorry for your loss.

Nan was always such a special presence at the shows and on the telephone. She was a quiet, strong, and lovely woman and I know she will be missed by her family and all of us who knew her.

Art and I had known Nan for many years in the craft industry. Even though we had not done business with them for 18 years, Nan always had a kind greeting for us at the Rosen shows when our paths would cross. May her family find peace in their sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Nan's passing. She was always a friendly face at the Rosen shows and an inspiration to all of us who create craft as a business. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bill and Family,

What a sad day to hear of Nan's passing. I don't think I know of a nicer couple. It was always such a treat to see you both at the shows and to talk about your work, family and craft. I think of you both as pioneers in the world of fine wood working, having "marked the trees" so to speak and having set such a high standard for others. But still, no one approaches your quality and integrity.

Having lost my own mother in January, I must say it is an empty feeling. Memories remain, happy ones. And I treasure what she taught me, and the integrity she always showed. I will think of Nan this way also and the wonderful moments at the shows or on the phone.

Our best wishes,

We're so sorry to hear about Nan. We missed you both in Philadelphia and wondered how you were doing. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Nan was a great person.

I am sorry to hear of her passing.

Oh, Bill, I am so sorry to hear about Nan. I was so afraid this was coming after the sad news at the show about her difficulties. You will be in my thoughts during this difficult time. Erika and Stephanie, I can't imagine how sad you are now. What a very special mom you had. I feel so lucky to have known her, even just a little, and to have met both of you in Philadelphia. Ron, I don't know you but I have a great sister myself and I can imagine how very hard it is for you to have lost yours. Love to all of you. I am so sorry.
