Hey Nancy,
You left us on March 29th, 2010, off on the next leg of your great adventure. You came laughing into this world on June 30th, 1954, and forever changed it for the better. Constantly exploring, whether by paddle, foot or pedal, you never stopped. This will be too short to capture the true breadth and meaning of your life. The craftswoman and potter, the barista extraordinaire… you made everything from dog food to curtains, a true do-it-yourself spirit. As a cryptic crossword queen, truly uncanny you were. You were the consummate film buff and the lifeblood of local theatre. With no children of your own, your greatest achievement was as a second mother, sister, aunt, teacher, confidante and friend to so many kids in so many places. Even at the end, you made sure to take care of all of us.
From the get-go, you set out to live your own life, and in the process affected so many others. From Simcoe, Goose Bay, the Bend and Pancake Bay, to the little schoolhouse or the Caravan Farm Theatre, and a thousand places in between, the echo of yours, always the loudest of laughs, will remain with us forever.
