Richard and family, I'm at a loss for words with what your family has endured over the last few years. Nancy absolutely adored her family and was there even during everything she was going through. I am so thankful that you were able to spend the quality time you had together.

I spent almost every day and night with Nancy for the last nine years. Many knew Nancy for much longer in years. Anything positive and fun you ever experienced with her, Nancy expressed every day and night. Nancy BEAT cancer! John Rolph.

To Chris and to Nancy's Family - Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved Nancy. She was a very special lady! (Sorry we're unable to be present at the visitation/funeral service, as I've injured my back.) Our caring thoughts and prayers are with you. Bill and Norma Clare

I will never forget the care and love that your whole family showed to me. The world seems a little less shiny right now, but heaven sure got brighter in the last few years. My prayers and thoughts go out to you, and your friends and family.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you both and your families at this most difficult time. Nancy was such a sweet lady and it is our honour to know your family in so many different ways over so many years. Nancy always had a smile on her face and a cheery word even through the most difficult times. Nancy is now at peace and in the loving arms of the angels. Paul and Wendy Lepine

I have such wonderful memories of working with Nancy a long time ago at Princess Elizabeth P.S. She was my teaching partner, mentor and friend. We tried to keep in touch and had long chats whenever we met as we went separate ways. My blessings to her family.

It breaks my heart tonight to hear the passing of a beloved teacher from Sir G. E. Cartier. Mrs. Dashford was my Grade Two teacher there and I have very fond memories of our time together. She was a caring teacher who expected nothing but the best from her students. I hope she is with her beautiful daughter now enjoying their time together once again. My sincere condolences to her family during this difficult time.

Dear Becky and Isabelle. My deepest sympathy as you deal with the loss of your Mom/Gramma. Everything I've heard about your Mom says she was what every Mom hopes she will be to her family. And, from everything I know about you as a mom, her legacy lives on in your relationship with Isabelle. You were truly blessed to have had your mom, but it is so hard that this comes so quickly behind Melissa. Take care of you and Isabelle.

~ Jan Prescott

Words can not express our sympathies to you at this time. Nancy was an incredibly giving spirit. We will forever remember her dancing at the relay with a beautiful smile on her face. Hugs to you all! Jeff, MC and Autumn xoxo

Rick and family - We are so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still in each new dawn.

~ Pam & Bill Watson
