Brother Jim myself & Diane are so sorry for the passing of your MOTHER may GOD BLESS you & your family at very sad moment in your live’s may god bless you all.
Nancy,
We remember you.
At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember you.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter, we remember you.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember you.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember you.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember you.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember you.
As long as we live, you too will live; for you are now a part of us, as we remember you.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember you.
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember you.
When we have joy we crave to share, we remember you.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make, we remember you.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember you.
As long as we live, you too will live; for you are now a part of us, as we remember you.
Thank you for being a part of my life.
Rest now, for your work here on Earth is complete.
I will see you again when I reach Haven.
My love, your nephew,
Jamie

Jim, Michelle, Katie and Jimmy: What a wonderful person your mom and grandmother was! I really loved listening to her ‘Irish brogue’ and she was always so pleasant! May she be at peace now and surrounded by love . She will always be with you :).
God Bless you all .
“…Beauty is before me, and beauty behind me- Above and below me hovers the beautiful; I am immersed in it and surrounded by it- in youth; I was aware of it… and in old age, I shall walk quietly the beautiful trail….”
This is who Nancy was. I adored her and respected her- loved her and laughed with her… I will always remember her kindness and her sincere friendship. She was an amazing woman with a keen sense on life and a magnificent way of seeing the world…not to mention a FANTASTIC cook and bread baker. She had me hooked when she made me my first loaf of Irish Soda Bread! RIP Nancy – and prayers to family members held close to her. Love, Mary
