We have known Nancy since August 1975. Over the years we have lived in the same cities and shared many memorable times together, as families, co-workers and as friends. I cannot believe I am unable to find any photos of us all together. Neither of us were big photo takers, but there are some here somewhere. Today you will just have to rely on my memory, feeble as it is. Nancy was an amazing person, a hero of mine. "Just do it," she would say. And I am still trying to do just that. Her artistic abilities abounded in several areas, but her passion became ceramics and she eventually set up her own shop here in Calgary. She became well known in the ceramic world and taught many to become teachers. She started off by teaching classes in her basement in Oakville, On in 1978, where a group of us ladies would meet once a week. Over the years I have received pieces made by her as Christmas gifts which I will treasure forever. Thank you for being my friend for all these years. Coffee was always on and your smile was always welcoming, which will be the one of many memories we will always keep in our hearts.
Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to Kim, Ryan, Darwyn, and Lexi, to Ian, Lorie, Danielle, and James, to Shirley and her family, as well as Nancy's nieces and their families. Hopefully all those wonderful memories made over the years help you all to work through your grief. Nancy's Christmas Eve drop ins were legendary, she went too soon. We will miss her.
Love,
Tom & Alfie
