8/26/2020 Nancy's Eulogy
Hello Everyone,
Honestly, I was not sure I could do this today, because for the past week I felt "BROKEN". But I know Nancy would want me to say something...so here goes:
First of all, she would want me to thank you all for coming here today. As we all know Nancy loved a gathering and I am certain that she is looking down, smiling, happy that you all could make it.
She would want me to thank Joan for helping when I couldn't...she would want me to thank Tommy for his friendship...she would want me to thank Barbara K. for being her friend and caring for her. She would want me to thank Billy and Joanna for visiting and she would want me to thank Dr. Baltus for saving her life over and over again.
Nancy and I met on April 7th, 1997. Every day and every year since our friendship grew. She became important to me and I became important to her. Nancy became part of my family and I became part of hers. Nancy became my American mom. How lucky can one be for having two moms (gemellies) twins in Italian, as Nancy and my mom would call themselves!
Moving from Albania to America was not easy for me, different cultures, different customs, different worlds, but Nancy made it easy. She made me feel welcome!
She helped when David was born because my mom's visa was denied, she even helped me with my first resume.
In time Nancy became my #1fan, she was always supportive and proud, when I felt low she raised me high, when I needed her she was always there.
My lasting memories of Nancy are simple...she was strong, patient, great attitude, and she was loved, and honestly I feel honored and privileged to have met her, and to have been part of her life.
Nancy was not afraid of dying and she was thankful and grateful that she made it to 80.
I will miss her hugs, our talks, and most of all her laugh and smile.
Sadly on September 19th, 2020, at 4:35 a.m. I lost my neighbor, friend, confidant, advisor and a mother, but with all the sorrow and pain, I still feel blessed because that morning I gained a FIERCE ANGEL.
If roses grow in Heaven
God please pick a bunch for me
Place them in Nancy's arms
And tell her they're from me
Tell her I love her and I miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while
Because remembering her is easy
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
Dear American mom, rest in peace, and I know you are finally with Bill, mom and dad, and of course Scotty too. I love you forever and ever and one day I am sure we will meet again❤.
