My deepest sympathy to Carl and Patti and all of the Fink family and friends. Heaven has gotten another angel today! I pray that all the cherished memories spent with Nancy in this life will be remembered and all sadness replaced with laughter and smiles that she brought to her family and friends! She at one time shared her humor and honesty with me when I went to see her at Shaker Place. She said “she didn’t remember me but she liked the plant I brought her”!!
It was so funny !! I had to share that with Carl and Patti! They got a kick outta that , as I did!! Im sure the past few years has been very tough for both of them as they supported Nancy so much along the way! She raised
a very good son for sure!! I pray for comfort and strength at this difficult time to all who loved and cared for her ! Her memory lives on in our hearts!!
RIP Nancy,❤️
