From our mother's 70th birthday
Nancy
Nancy was more than a big sister to me: she was a second mom. I have had a better life, and I am a better person, for having been her little brother.
But, as Nancy herself would say, sometimes you have to roll the turds out on the table. No one wants to see the turds, but you have to look at them: Nancy was not perfect.
When I was little, and her husband was away in the war, she made me stay at her place, when I would rather stay home and watch TV.
She would force me to go outside and play, when I would rather stay inside and watch TV.
And she served me strange foods I’d never had at home, such as “salads” and “nachos.”
As I said, she made my life better.
And I am sad to lose her so soon, but I’m also happy for her, that she had a good life.
She had daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, who loved her. She had wonderful friends who loved her and whose asses she would regularly kick at tennis.
She married a wonderful man, Chris, and was with him for 20-ish years.
Too few people have a life as great as Nancy’s was.
And too few people have a person in their life as great as Nancy was.
But I wish everyone could: their lives would be much better for it.
Today is the day........ just when you think there's no more water left in your eyes......BAM! The tears keep flowing....... I love you!
Many people come and go on our journey through life but to have a friend like Nancy is priceless. We started out as colleagues but became best friends! Nancy welcomed me into her family who have brought such joy to our lives. The many glasses of wines and stories we shared will stay in my heart forever. I am so thankful for such a wonderful friend; one who was always there with helping hands and a shoulder I could lean on and a heart that understood.
What was once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose. For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Helen Keller
I will think of you always; I talk of you still
You have never be forgotten and you never will
I hold you close in my heart and there you will remain
To walk and guide me until we meet again!
Miss you my friend and thanks for the many years of friendship we were able to share!
Love Dan & Donita Burrows
Nancy and I worked together for over 30 years at Honeywell, and I was blessed to have Nancy on the Aerospace Contracts team for over 10 years. Nancy was extremely dedicated, and I could always count on her to meet deadlines. We also had a lot of fun together after retirement—I joking named her “Nasty Nancy” as she was always up to a good laugh. Nancy’s smile and laugh will be greatly missed, but we’re so thankful we had many years of memories together. Our deepest condolences to Chris and Nancy’s family.
I love you and I miss you and I thought I was going to have the rest of MY life with you......you should have lived to 100!!!! Thank you for being the very best mother and role model a girl could ever hope for!!!
