I find it difficult to find words to express my sorrow over your loss of Nancy. I watched her grow up in Madison 2nd Ward and Stoughton Branch, and I had the priveledge to work with her at Skallen Home when she began her nursing career. I will always remember her smile, her laugh, and how much she loved each resident for the unique individual that they were. I think she knew something specific about each resident throughout the 6 units, and she took the time to greet them even if they were unable to return her greeting. She brought joy to the hearts of many many lives.

I don"t know if you remember me or not? Bill and I were friends with Molly and Gracie and Manuel Jr. during the high school years at East High School years ago. I was so sad to hear about your daughter Nancy. I can"t even imagine what you are going though my condolences to you and the rest of the family. May she rest in peace.
