Nancy was the beautiful daughter of William P. and Gail (Kelly) Strain of Lincoln, RI. and the adored youngest sister of Keri-Ann S. McLaughlin (Alan), William S. Strain (Tara), Susan S. Guay (Paul) and Michael P. Strain.
She was the loving daughter-in-law of Norman "Bill" and Yvette Belisle and sister-in-law to William Belisle, John Belisle (Barbara) and Peter Belisle (Carolyn). Nancy was also the doting auntie to many nieces and nephews.

David and boys,
I just of recent heard the sad news.. my heart goes out to you.. I became aware of your family after watching the LL World Series and seeing your captivating speech. It inspired me and I'm sure the lives of many others.
My heart goes out to you, as I have lost one of my most precious gifts myself, my daughter. She would want you to know that she is indeed watching over you and your family. I hope that Natalia's Angel will always remind you of that..
With love and comfort,

To the Belisle and Strain Family,
I first met Nancy when she began working at hmea. That was only a few years back, but I feel like I have known her forever. We became fast friends. She was one of those special people that you rarely come across in life, if you are lucky enough.
Her smile, warmth and laughter were genuine and she quickly became part of our hmea family. I can't tell you how much we laughed!
She was the bright spot in my day. I will miss her more than words can express.
With my deepest sympathy to you all.

To David, Brendan, Brian, James, John
No one will ever forget the grace in which you lived
Amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend
Never allowed sickness to dictate her happiness
Courageously fought every battle put before her
Your strength and dedication amazed everyone near and far
Brendan,Brian,James,and John she will always be with you
Every day she was with her boys was a day filled with love
Loved watching your father coach his four boys
It might have been hectic but she loved every single minute
She was never one to complain about making sacrifices
Life has dealt you sorrow that your mind cannot quite grasp
Every light that shines, shines because of your mother's love

I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is never easy to lose a loved one especially so young. Nancy loved her family so much and it showed! Just keeping her memory alive and talking about her every day will get the whole family through this. It will take some time but with the love and support from family and all the friends that care about you will help you through this. Never keep anything in if you have to cry you cry. It is a whole healing process. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family!

To the Family of the late Nancy Belisle
As I read the front page I was saddened to hear of your wife's and your mothers passing.
Though her passing has left a void, no that out of her baptism she was given the light of Christ she was born into Catholic faith, as our Lord knew she was suffering and a cure was not to be, our loving Lord sent an angle with a message, peace be fine come follow me as I am preparing a special place for you in heaven.
It is a promise and our faith that you will see her again in paradise. During these darkest days trust in the Lord and he will Comfort you and wipe away your tears of sorrow,
Though I did not know her personally from our parish communities of St Anthony's Church of the presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in North Providence and St Edwards we send our deepest sympathies during these difficult days. May God bless you all and turn to God and the time of need
May she rest in peace to the mercies of Christ amen
