Dear Trevor and family So sorry to hear the passing of Nancy. She was a very special lady for me and our family. I so enjoyed the summer I spent with her during my studies at college for Interior Design. She taught me many things with her special touches. She told me always to light brand new candles , even if you blow them out right away. It makes the home look lived in. I always thought that was great advice. I also think of her when I buy the grapefruit soap from the body shop, she had these in her powder room and said to always unwrap them so they can smell extra good! A very very special woman , she will be missed but will make a perfect angel. ❤️ love always, Alix

To dear Trevor and family. We are truly heartbroken at Nancy’s passing – we adored her. She had a remarkable generosity of spirit who gave her friendship, love and prayers wholeheartedly. She was a talisman during a difficult time in Geoff’s life, she brought much light and hope and was the truest of friends. Nancy taught us how to luxuriously elevate the everyday and influenced and inspired a great many beautiful things that surround us. We hold dear so many happy times over 20 years of friendship often spent chez Tranter in Port Hope and London Ont, where one would find the warmest of welcomes, a delectable feast, animated conversation and laughter and a million kind and thoughtful gestures for a memorable stay. Nancy enriched our lives and we will miss her enormously. Our love and prayers are with Trevor, Jane, Tom, Sarah, Charlotte, Simon and Jack.

Trevor: I was so very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. I enjoyed our phone visits so very much and was looking forward to our visit this year. I was saddened to learn of her health issue when we spoke just before Remembrance Day. The wreath was placed in memory of her dad (Ian Martin) on the 14, by our Poppy Chairman. I was very sorry to hear of her passing when you called me. I will make sure to keep in touch with you. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Deepest Sympathy. Joyce Cosbey

I have many wonderful memories from growing up visiting with Nancy and Trevor. As part of the Metro Toronto Police “family” my Dad and his work colleagues (and their spouses) were a tight knit group. Nancy was always so kind to us kids, and we always enjoyed our visits to their various homes around southern Ontario over the past 4+ decades. Rest in eternal peace dear Nancy…..you’ll be missed. Xoxo
