We first met Nancy 8 years ago when we moved in across the street. It didn’t take long to fall in love with her contagious laugh and enormous heart.
We ended up moving and lucky enough to have our backyards attached. Nancy and I would have our coffee together in the mornings and share some laughs after the end of a work day. (All while Loomis was stalking her under the fence 🐾)
Nancy became my mom away from home. Her heart was so open she made me feel like part of the family.
Jeff, Matthew, Shannon and family, our sincerest condolences to you all and praying for you during this difficult .
With much love, Craig and Tami

I had the good fortune of working with Nancy for the past year or so. She was a lovely human being. I will miss her wit, sense of humour, and most of all, her smile.
My deepest condolences to Jeff and all of Nancy's family.
