Nancy was my friend from the College of New Rochelle. We shared many rides back and forth from home and school. She had a good sense of humor.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Nancy:
I did get to see you very often but, I always got a laugh at the emails and cards you would send to me. I still have the message on our answering machine you left for Mike´s and my anniversary. I do not know if I will ever be able to clear it. You are in heaven now with Chet, your parents and my parents. Earthly pains and troubles have ceased. I will miss hearing from you but, I will always think of you on birthdays and anniversaries. I have let my family know.
Rest in peace,
Kay Beutler Enz
