Went to Clearwater for the weekend and visited the Clearwater Aquarium.  We had a great time.

Nancy and I were neighbors in
KENMORE.NY when Billy was born.  She  often walked him over in his buggy to visit me (when he was crying)I Have so many wonderful
Memories of fun times spent with her and Bill.  We actually climbed
Up on the roof of their house on
July 4th to watch the fireworks.
I was fortunate to visit her i n Ocoee several times.  The fun times continued. We only disagreed on
One  activity--her love of Saturday
Morning garage sales--
I did not like them!!!
Loved her!!⁵

Nancy Gray was my friend , Mentor and second mom.  We would always have tea in the afternoon and play a Scrabble game which were two things we both loved and had in common. Nancy and I started out as garage sale buddies and evolved into estate sale friends looking for treasures (mostly little lamps and cookie jars).   Nancy had every cookie jar under the sun - she was the reason that I now am a collector of them. Every Christmas,  I would take the regular ones down in the kitchen, wash them and put up the Christmas ones.    Then after New Years, repeat!!!  After one estate sale, I’ll never forget when Nancy bought the song sheets to  lyrics of old songs for her  trivia group she sponsored at Summerville.  On the way home, we sang our hearts out and laughed till we were in tears! Oh how I miss those good times with Nancy. She was so kind, generous and I loved her very much.

As a frequent visitor to Roni’s home in Florida, I had the opportunity to get to know Nancy.  Her infectious enthusiasm for life was one of the first things I ever realized about her.  She had a wonderful sense of humor and she loved Roni’s dogs.  So many evenings when they were watching TV, Nancy would be surrounded (and covered!) by dogs.  She has been missed these past few years by those who love her.  While her passing may be a blessing for her, it is still very hard for those who knew and cared for her.  God bless Nancy and her family.

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Nancy.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and also Ronnie and Chuck Wega. 

Nancy and Don

I have so many wonderful memories with Nancy.  The one that made me laugh the most was when we were at a yard sale and she was asked if I was her daughter, she told them that she wasn't old enough to be my mother but I was her younger sister.  Also, when she would come down to the house every Tuesday and Wednesday night and if we weren't playing scrabble, she was laying on the couch with Chopper (picture attached)
Nancy was loved and she will be sorely missed.  I loved her.

Grandma Nancy was a wonderful person. Sharp as a tack. Loved to go yard saling with my mom and I every Saturday morning. She had a wonderful life. I love you and miss you. Praying for Billy and the family. 


                                                     Love, 
                                                      Tina.
