Nancy was a good friend to so, so many people who were devoted to her. Her smile and her laugh lit up every room she walked into. Please accept this message from Nancy:
“Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.” “All is Well”
(Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918)
