My deepest sympathy on your moms passing. Most of you kids I babysat for when you lived in Dorchester. Your mom and dad were always very nice and generous.

When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can utter these four words,"I trust You, Jesus" by doing so, you release matters into My control. To the family of Nancy- I imagine Nancy uttered those words "I trust You Lord" as she took His hand and was lead to paradise. It was such a joy knowing her, always kind, smiling and so very friendly...always giving away a piece of chocolate. As, she would tell me, "put a little sweetness in your day". Nancy will surly be missed but never forgotten. Thank you for allowing me to share just a small part of her life. May God keep you in His arms of love and strength doing these days of sadness..Juanita of CareLink
