I knew Nancy first as "Candy"; she was my Girlscout leader in Chicago. I have fond memories of scouting due to her. She was a good person.

Dear Anna Mae, Brigid, Aurelia, and Tom,
We are so saddened by your mother's death. She was one of our favoite people, and we have so many fond memories of her, especially during the years we lived in Chicago. She was such a thoughtful person, and Susan was so pleased to have a lovely phone conversation with her the first week-end in December when Susan and Rick were at the art show at the Merchandise Mart. Your mother even told Susan she would plan to come next year!
We are so sorry we cannot attend the funeral.
Janet and Susan join us in extending our deepest sympathy to all the family. We will be thinking of you Saturday during the service and in the future. Please keep in contact with us.
