Our condolences to Ray and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God bless Nancy. She is now at peace in his loving arms. She was such a special person to me growing up in Warren with all the kids. I always considered her my other Mom.
You are all in my prayers.
Wish I could be there but I am unable.
Sending my love to all the Nowacki family.
The tide recedes, but leaves behind
Bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth
Still lingers on the land.
The music stops — and yet
It echoes on in sweet refrain.
For every joy that passes,
Something beautiful remains.
— Poet Unknown
We hope the knowledge that you are in our thoughts and prayers brings you some comfort.
Love —
Anne & Neil

Mark, Cheryl, Josh, and Britanny,
Jo and I are very sorry to hear of your Mom’s/Grandmom’s passing. If we look for meaning in our lives we only have to look to our families to find it. Surely the experiences and memories we have filed away will go with us and guide us as we live our own lives. Even if we never knew Nancy, we did know Mark, Josh, and Britanny, which is our evidence that she must have been right special.
Don and Jo
