Aunt Nancy was always such a GREAT person to us. I always loved her laugh and personality! As kids she was ALWAYS GREAT with us!! I always loved going to their house in Wisconsin and going fishing with her and Uncle Bill! Aunt Nancy would go Golfing in the mornings (something that she always loved doing ) and then come home and go fishing in the evening. After fishing we would always have so much fun, either at the Lodge or at the house! I always loved her very much! To Jimmy, Karen, Danny, Jamie and Len. You have my deepest sympathy. I am sure that she is with the Angles in Heaven now and is loving seeing Her Husband, son,Mom and Dad , and her Brother and all others that have gone before her!!All My LOVE,
Her Nephew Dan Brown
