I will drink a wee dram of fine Scotch to toast my friend Nancy on 23Oct2021. Wish I could be there in person to share. Nancy's is a life well lived. She made a lasting difference in my life and a lot of others - Some memories:
Talking with her about important things while visiting her in Becky Bacot dorm in 1977 at Milsaps College. Nancy was a chosen sister.
Her angelic appearance as discharge nurse at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital when Betsy and our son Alan was discharged from one of his many hospitalizations to treat Cystic Fibrosis. We didn't know that Nancy had moved to North Carolina, found and married Marc. Alan, our youngest son is doing great, a miracle at 36, thanks to many angels and care providers like Nancy. Nancy was a surprise blessing that day when we really needed encouragement.
And to reconnect with Nancy and meet Marc visiting our home in NC and sharing joy, laughs and the trials of her journey.
Though we don't always stay in touch, true friends are for eternity. Nancy - see you on the other side of the "thin places", where the veil between heaven and earth is very thin.
