Love you Aunt Nancy, your spunk has brought me inspiration over the years. So many memories will sustain me till we see each other again. Mom misses you so much but we both know you are with Jesus now and Retta, Rex, and grandma.

Our first week at the condo in Keystone. Finally we're in the same state again.

Nancy & I have met when we were in the 7th grade and have been close since then. At 19 we took a Greyhound Bus to NY and worked together in the Catskills. We had sons and beknownst to the other both named them Scott. Her beautiful daughter was born on my birthday. We traveled to Budapest and Paris, talked long hours of "cabbages and Kings", shared books, tried to figure out the world and husbands, most of all we laughed, laughed, laughed. This is irreplaceable. I miss you Nanc ... and you're still with me.
