Sending loving thoughts your way at this tough time. What wonderful memories - a house filled with love, joy, and laughter. A blessed family indeed. I will always hear Nan's laugh. From the first time I met Nan, after the honeymoon, I thought she and Bill were the most "fun" couple I'd ever meet. Never changed. Nan had such enthusiasm for life and boundless love for all of her family and friends. She will be sorely missed.
Much love to you all,
Cindy and Lou
You had the very best! Every time we visited at New Haven, or the Villages Nan was full of kindness and laughter.
She was always so much fun and she and Bill would share family stories as we all laughed together. Those were wonderful times Bill. Ed and I will never forget them, and we will never forget Nan and what a wonderful, loving and very special person she always was. Nan will be missed so much!
We send prayers and all of love to you all!
