Heartbroken- She was like a Mom to me
I am just heartbroken to hear this sad news. Nancy will be missed by so many. Growing up she was never Nancy to me; she was "Mom", as I'm sure she was to so many others! That's just the kind of person she was. I will always be grateful for her kind & loving heart, how she always treated me like family, and especially during my long stay at Chester County Hospital as a child. Not only did she bring Arlene to work with her, so she could keep me company throughout the day, but she would also stop by to check on me, herself, as well. She inspired me to learn to make Arroz con Gandules, on my own, after all these years! When we were kids Arlene would bring me some whenever she made it because I loved it so much. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as you grieve. I pray that you will find comfort, during this extemely difficult time, through your memories of this wonderful lady and all the love she gave so freely! ❤️
Arlene, I am so sorry for
Arlene, I am so sorry for your loss. Your love and respect for your Mom was shared so often through stories, pictures and events. Your care of your Mom and your Dad cannot be matched. She must be looking down on you with a smile and pride of the woman you are. She will forever be a part of you. May all the funny, wonderful memories of your Mom bring a smile to your face at this difficult time. Love Gay and Will
Dear family of Nancy, I am so
Dear family of Nancy, I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing and know that you miss her. She is with the Lord now. I pray that you will be comforted at this time. I remember Nancy as one of the most loving persons I have known. She was always ministering to other people in one way or another. She was known for showing up at the bedside in Chester Co. Hospital of anyone from the church who was there and she prayed for them. What a blessing she was to us all. Please know that you are in my prayers as you are in this time of loss.
Deepest Sympathies
