The above doesn’t due justice to the remarkable lady Nancy was. We all know what a beautiful person and how well read she was. She had the largest collection of books - that may rival many small libraries. And that doesn’t include the hundreds of books on her Kindle. She was the most approachable and least judgmental person you would ever want to meet. She was a great listener, and loved a good personal story from anyone and everyone. Her letters to all where ‘frameable' - she was a great writer.
She brought life and fun to every party and would always be up for a night out. John and she traveled all over the U.S. and Canada and Europe many times over, and even ventured to Africa and Madagascar.
All will miss her dearly.
A memorial celebration is planned on her 70th birthday, this July 30th at the Cielo Winery in Shingle Springs. RSVP:at j.g.k@sbcglobal.net
