Pam your mother was always sweet, kind and thoughtful to me. It is sad that we didn’t get to spend much time together in our later years and then regret that at times like this. I’m sure she will be missed by many especially you and your family! May you Rest in Peace Nancy and God Bless Your Soul!
Love,
Phyllis Barr
So sorry for your loss. Prayers.
I’ve had the joy and honor of working with Nancy during her time at Westport Pools. I will forever remember her smile and quick witted sense of humor. She is so greatly missed. Prayers to her family.
