Very saddened to see the announcement, in the latest Western Alumni Gazette. I knew Nancy since Oakridge H.S.. I just wanted to say that she was a lovely and kind person back when I knew her at Oakridge. Even though we weren't 'best friends', she seemed to project a genuine warmth towards everyone around her, and a naturalness that made her very likeable. I'm sure you've all had a heart-breaking time lately, and so I hope it helps in some way to know that many people like me remember Nancy in a positive and affectionate way. So sorry for the pain she had to go through, and the loss you have all been dealing with. Please know that Nancy will not be forgotten.

Dear Cathy , John and family, my thoughts are with you. I will always remember Nancy on a beach in Florida or Bayfield walking in the water with her "hot pink" bathing suit. She was a very strong, artistic woman with a sense humour. Dear Nancy rest in peace. Suzie

I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. I went to Oakridge in Grade 9 and knew her and her sister Cathy. I missed the great Oakridge reunion so wasn't able to reconnect, but am wishing Nancy's family love and peace and knowing that Nancy is in a better , peaceful place. My thoughts and condolences to all.
