Nancy Backus Obituary

Theresa and Danny,
I know you will have wonderful memories to share with your children about your mom and dad. It seems hard to believe that I have known your family since 1975. Babysitting for the both of you, then camping with your mom and dad at Lakepoint. We had some great times with them both. Your mom at the trailer singing "I am women hear roar" , her weekend breakfast for our circle of "biscuits and gravy". Our group outings ( the boat, going to weddings via "the greyhound bus" from the trailer, the RV shows, our turkey shoot, our halloween party's at the bowling alley in coal city, the sox game, and I can keep going on. They were always there to either help out or join in the fun. Especially our camp fires at the trailer. Our pig roast or even our christmas in August at the trailer. Our pre superbowl party's at Glenn and Carol's house, even our christmas gift exchanges. These are memories for all of us, especially the " Circle Jerks " If you ever need anything, a shoulder to lean on, or just a friendly chat, a "BABYSITTER", please call. Your parents were both wonderful people, as are the both of you! Your mom and dad are both at peace being together again. They loved the both of yous dearly!

Mom, We all are going to miss you. I can't thank you enough for giving me such a good husband. I know dad and you had a real love story and you both are together now. I never gonna forget your sweet smile. I love you both...

I am grief stricken for you kids I know this has to be a very hard time for you She talked to me several times lately telling me how supportive and wonderful you were with her after your father passed She also sent pictures of those beautiful grandkids She was so proud I feel that she is at peace now with John

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
