I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was a terrific lady and friend. We met over 20 years ago through the Grief Support System and always remained in touch. She was loved by many and will be missed by us all. Keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Nancy was so saddened to read of your mon’s passing. I also met her through the Good Grief Group over 20 years ago. She will be missed by so many people. I loved to hear her laugh. I always enjoyed her Christmas ornaments and lovely cards. Over the years we shared tears but lots of laughter. You will be in my prayers.
Dear Nancy, my friendship with your mother brought me such joy and deep appreciation over the years. I’m so grateful to have counted her as one of the wonderful friends I’ve been privileged to know. I’ll miss her every day and remember the many good times we shared together.
Love to you— Jennifer Sims
Ann was a very spunky lady and a tremendous artist. She will be greatly missed.
Ann was such a nice person. I admired her art work so much. I know you will miss her presence in your life.
Dear Nancy,
Your mother was a lovely and talented person, and a friend for many years. She was also very helpful to Margi and me in buying our home in Lawrence. Our supportive thoughts are with you especially in this time of your great loss. Sincerely, Neal Malicky (and for Margi, too)
My what a classy & classic woman Ann was! I loved her dearly. Her professionalism was above the crowd. I adored her hearty laugh and her strong yet so sweet interactions. She’d appear at the office in her beautiful skirts/shirts (always collar up!) I would tease her as we both had something so “East Coast” in our style! I’d compliment her skirts and often hear that she’d whipped them up with a yard of fabric! What an all around artist!
She exuded a confident and loving soul..indeed precious! Rest well, my friend..the light of the world is dimmed in your absence.
Nancy, I am very sorry for your loss. Losing you mom is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever lived through. Call if you ever find yourself needing to talk.
Ann was our realtor who sold us our townhome in 1999. I will never forget her! My words regarding Ann are echoed by so many in the above notes.
I will forever treasure her Christmas cards with the pen and ink drawings of trees, that she sent to me for a good many years. I have used them as decor on my buffet at Christmastime, and will continue to do so in remembrance of her! She was a very special lady!
My deepest condolences…..
Dorothy Cook
Your mom was a wonderful, caring and talented woman and we will miss her very much. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Nancy, your mother was such a warm and caring person. Wish I had got to know her better, especially after reading all the wonderful remembrances others have written! My heart and prayers go out to you as you remember the “best mother in the world.”
Your Mom helped me to find my house and I ended up becoming her neighbor. I will cherish her cards and handmade Christmas ornaments.
