I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I ‘m free.
I’m following the path god laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found a place at the close of day.
If my parting l has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunrise of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much.
Good friends, good times,
A loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me….
God wanted me now,
He set me free.

I had the pleasure of working with Nancy at United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley when I was a new nurse. There was always laughter when Nancy was around. Her potluck contributions were epic! I do miss her. Condolences to the whole family.
I remember growing up with Nancy as cousins, we were in fourth grade together and she was so fun to be around. She was always so kind and she helped me through a lot of hard times throughout my life,she had a way of always saying the right things to make you feel better. She will be so missed.

You are and will be missed, Nancy. The comfort to those left behind is that you’re now healthy, happy, and watching over the rest of us. Through the sadness and grief of your passing, I can’t help chuckling as I think about the ruckus you and Judy are stirring up in heaven.
I was very blessed to meet Nancy through my husband and his family. She was always so sweet, cheerful, and caring. A very remarkable woman for sure!
I know she will be missed by many! It will never be the same to attend events without her there.
My sincerely condolences to all of her family and friends.
Rest in peace, my friend. Until we meet again, ALOHA.
