I'm in agreement with Luz. However, it's a well known fact that Italians are famous for their zest for life and celebration thereof So my wish and hope is that Nancy had q wonderful life in Italy and that her life was celebrated and honored by all her Italian brethren. Prosit Nancy!!!!
So sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. We were in lots of classes together, and I considered her a friend. She was extremely intelligent and always seemed more mature and serious than the rest of us. I hope she found happiness living in Italy, but I am sorry, but not surprised, that we only learned of her death nearly five years after it occurred. RIP Nancy.
I grieve a bit for every lost classmate but must confess I read their obits with a great deal of interest.
I vaguely remember Nancy from the 3rd Ward & Bartlett Elementary. IIRC, I think she later went to the ECUW campus elementary school. I seem to recall her being one of the intellectuals at memorial and don't recall being in any classes with her (being a gal she couldn't take Chef class and I probably wasn't smart enough in any other classes with her). I can imagine her leading a life of serious, important pursuits but really, who knows?
It is a sobering shame that we know so little about many of those 500+ kids we rubbed shoulders with for 3 or more years.
Don't be shy about sharing friends, there is no such thing as an uniteresting life. Nor is there a perfect life.
