I met Nancy when she moved across the hall from my Mom, Edith Arason, at Seine River. They became fast friends quickly. I so much appreciate her kindness to my Mom, who was lonely and far from home and dealing with the loss of my Dad. They went to everything together and when my Mom fell, it was Nancy who was always stopping in to make sure my Mom didn't need anything or just to keep her company when we couldn't be there. She was a sweetheart in every way and she will remain in my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: nancy arason (friend) on: Aug 11, 2018
