Condolence: Tori and I unfortunately cannot attend the memorial in Houston, MN. We send our deepest sympathies to her family both in Colorado and Minnesota. Although it was under difficult circumstances, it was wonderful to see all my brothers in one place again. I know Nancy was smiling down from Heaven seeing us all together.

Condolence: Nancy, I am so sorry. Dear family I was in the class of 1961 at St Francis. I remember walking by her room on the 5th floor where we all lived for 3 yrs. I have so many happy memories of Nancy. I am happy she had a great life. Rita "ratsy" Boland Nutile

Condolence: I will not be able to make it to the memorial service for Nancy because of a previous family commitment. I would like to offer my sympathy and condolences to Nancy’s children and her siblings. I am sure none of you know me from Adam but I was one of Nancy’s first roommates when she got her first nursing job in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We lived on Tyler Street in La Crosse which was only a block from the hospital where she worked. I worked downtown as a legal secretary and still do so part time. Nancy and I had wonderful times and when we didn’t have nothing else to do in the evenings she taught me how to play cribbage and would usually always win as she was very good at it. The two of us would enjoy going to her parents’ home in Houston and my parents’ home in Caledonia and enjoy a delicious meal cooked by our farm wife mothers. Of course, as all young adults still do, we would occasionally go downtown to Third Street to enjoy a brew or two. Since Nancy moved to Colorado and I married a Wisconsin dairy farmer and still live and work on this same farm, we kind of lost touch with each other. I regret that we did not connect with each other in these later years!

Condolence: Thank you to everyone for your kindness and keeping Jon and his brothers in your prayers during this difficult time.
