Guest Book & Memories
February 5th, 2021
Very long memories of friendship and shared experiences with Nancy, even going all the way back to her family in the village of Shoresh, near Jerusalem Israel, whom we met on a couple of our visits. Indeed a woman of valor, though soft spoken and sweet. May her memory be a blessing to you all - her children and grandchildren.

Dear Family,
I still can't think of Nancy being gone. We talk to each other almost every week. Shaul z"l was in Habonim together with your dad z"l, ( must be before 1950 !!)
I met your parents & children when you arrived from Israel. It's been so many years, we were family. Hope to see you on happier occasions. May you know no more sorrow. I am happy that at least I was able to join you all at the funeral through zoom, and see your beautiful families.
P.s. I even met your grandmother & aunt in Israel.

Dear Reuben, Sharona, Shimon, Ilana, and your spouses and children,
I have known both your beloved Mother and Father for over 35 years and I will miss your Mother very much. I had dinner with her at Lincolnwood Place and visited a few times. I Remember most though the wonderful times we had at Ameinu meetings in her home. Your mother was always warm and soft spoken.
May her life be a blessing for you and all of us.
With the warmest of feelings,
