Happy first Anniversary in Heaven, my beloved Nancy! I miss you immensely, but I know you are with me. I feel your gentle, peaceful presence every day. Thanks for watching over me! Mass was offered today in our 4th floor chapel and at St. Alice Church in thanksgiving to God for giving you to us as a blessing and light for the Journey. Give Mom, Dad, Rosemary and all our beloveds in your heavenly Home a big hug from me. Dave, Joe, Theresa, Will, Monica and Rosemary have been great about visiting me. You must be so proud of them! Keep watching over us and send us a share in your gentle, peaceful spirit.
With all my love forever,
Agnes

Hello Grandmom!

It was nice to see you today! Reminiscent of last year it snowed for your visual appetite. I noticed someone else left you pink flowers, the same color I choose this day. As you know, “pink” represents joy; conversely for me it symbolizes your unvarying kindness.

I will always remember our sleepovers, when Will, Rose and I would camp-out downstairs in your house. I miss you immensely and think of you everyday.



This past weekend, I enjoyed looking through pictures of our happy times together while celebrating Uncle Dave’s birthday with Aunt Agnes, Dad, Mom and Will.



Love,

Monica

Happy 85th Birtday, dear Nancy! I sang my greeting to you! Did you hear it above the Angel Chorus? The off key notes were mine!



Have all our Beloveds give you extra hugs from me. I know our beloved Jesus will give you the biggest hug! Share some of your heavenly joy with us! Much love eternally,

Agnes

I came to appreciate and love Nancy through Sr. Noel. We have become very close through friendship and prayers. I am sure she is now praying for the school and the Parish where her sister worked for so many years.



My condolances to all her family

Hello Lovely Lady (Ladies)

My greeting to you and Noel. I am sorry that we never had the chance to meet in person, but, our friendship and love grew because of our love for Noel....the Red Head became our favorite name for you. Thank you for all your prayers and never ending support. I feel confident that your prayers and support are still with me and will carry (perhaps) just a tad more influance.

We shared a great love for Sr. Noel and I promise I will scold her when it is necessary; (I have already had to scold)

Love, hugs and prayers

Thank you,my beloved Nancy, for being such a special sister. Your love and goodness were God's great gift to me and to all whose lives touched yours. Your gentle, peaceful presence cotinues to light up my life. I will never forget you.

As our Grandnephew, Jim Sauerbaum, said so well, 'Aunt Nancy is probably cavorting up in heaven with my Dad and Uncle Mike.' In my wildest imaginings, I can not picture you ever cavorting, Nancy, but I do know there is a great party going on with all our Beloveds welcoming you Home to that eternal banquet to which we are all invited. Save us a place at the Table, Nancy. With all my love to my Best Friend Forever!

Grandma – Thank you for all you have done and been apart of in my life. I love you for eternity!



I know you regularly wanted to know what myself, and/or the rest of our family was doing today, tomorrow or in the future, now I hope you will find peace in always knowing.



We promise you a smile everyday and the confidence of family value and faith.
