Dear Alan, Nora, and Emily,
I was deeply saddened to hear about Nancy's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
I have fond memories of when Nancy and Alan gave me a drive to Montreal after I had recently moved there. When Nancy greeted me at her door, I noticed we were both wearing bandanas. Staying at your home felt so comforting, with its beautiful quilts and lovingly hung tapestries. The next morning, we left early, with Alan determined to make good time. Aside from fueling up, we didn't stop, or take breaks. We were just cruising.
Throughout the drive, Nancy spoke to me with genuine interest and curiosity. I was touched by how lovingly she spoke about Nora and Emily. About 12 hours later, as we finally approached the island of Montreal, I remember some spirited debates about the best route to take. It was a great trip and I'll always be grateful for that ride.
Nancy was a strong, beautiful, and resilient person, and I will always be grateful for her kindness.
