Nancy, my dear friend and pen pal,
Can you feel how much I miss you? The hole in my heart is huge. Thank you for the time we spent together. Thank you for the laughter, thank you for the friendship, thank you for the stories, thank you for being you. I have never had so much fun in my laugh. And, I have never been so sad.
Much love to you my smart and vivacious friend.

I had the blessing of knowing Mrs. Connor for more than 20 years.
We shared short, but very special moments just talking about everyday life, always ending with a big smile. She was very kind and caring and always very giving.
I will never forget such a wonderful person and will keep all of those beautiful memories in a very special place in my heart.

When Nancy was happy, she didn't just light up- she sparkled! And the energy lighted everyone around her. I have mostly shared celebration moments with her, including Thanksgivings [even a Thanksgivnukkah], birthdays, a magical wedding, Christmas, and Passover seders. Most of them meant the Connor team had produced one more embracing, comfortable, overfed and yet elegant celebration. And when a grandchild was at her table- the sparkling never let up.
I love thinking of her brightening our home’s seders: I can vividly still see her ‘cheerleading’ us into “one more song” and then leading us all in belting out “Thatzza Matzah…” to the tune of “That’s Amore” followed by “Why You Are Here [on Mt. Sinai]” to the tune [and dance moves!] of “YMCA”.
Our short, 7-year shared history of great family ‘moments’ means I was blessed by a disproportionate share of her infectious delight, her nurturing generosity and wry humor. But in dark days for Ben and me and our little family, Nancy and Gary were ever the quietly comforting and nurturing presences most needed. Nancy’s sweetness and constancy [and baked ziti] packed the healing we so needed.
There is no English word for the acquired relatives who are the parents of your child's chosen partner. Nancy was my consuegra [Sp.], my machatenister [Yd.] - my partner in enjoying our children building their future in happiness. So much of her lives on in Cat, extraordinary daughter, wife and professional who SO deserves to enjoy her healthy, loving parents for decades more. And has been cheated. Nancy’s memory WILL be a blessing; her presence, with those sparkling moments, would have been a much greater one

Nancy and Gary have been our next door neighbors for the past 21 years, and we couldn't have asked for better neighbors and friends. Our hearts are so sad about Nancy's unexpected passing; it was much, much too soon.
I remember when my daughter was born in February of 2000, and I had to take her as a bundled infant to her first checkup. Nancy was quick to run over and help me get her (and all the gear) into the car, saying cheerfully, "I remember those days." And through the years, I'll remember all the neighborly conversations about our kids, our travels, and our jobs.
I will miss the spontaneous conversations at the mailbox, the yearly delivery of coffee cake at the holiday, and mostly just knowing she was there, right next door, if we ever needed anything.
Rest in peace, Nancy. We will miss you on Autumn Hill Lane.

Posted for Mike and Sue Willdridge; dear old friends from our time in the UK:
For a couple of years during the eighties, Gary and I worked together in England, teaching at the Royal Air Force Officer Training School. Also both our families lived close together in married quarters.
Nancy’s birthday was imminent and Gary told me how he’d asked Nancy what she’d like for her birthday to which she replied, “Oh, nothing really”. So, on the morning of her birthday - he gave her nothing!
He did, however, take her out for dinner that evening.
Actually, he had bought her an antique clock (I think) which he asked me to hang on his wall whilst he and Nancy were out in the evening and, of course, that would be her surprise birthday present when they returned.
So, when they were out, the baby sitter let me in and summoning all my DIY skills I swung the hammer at the nail to go into the wall. Whack! And a chunk of plaster fell to the ground together with the nail. Again I swung and again another chunk of plaster etc … and again with no better luck. At this point the baby sitter rushed in to inform me that they were back early and I should make myself scarce.
One more desperate swing of the hammer - and it worked. So I quickly hung the precious antique, cleared up the mess and left by the rear door just as Nancy was coming through her front door.
Phew!
Did she ever find out about my poor DIY skills Gary?

Dear Nancy,
I know you are not suffering or in pain, and for that I am grateful. You slipped away from us, long before we wanted you to go.
We have been friends for almost fifty years, and I truly expected at least another twenty, so that I could tell you that I love you and to thank you for your unwavering friendship. You are a sister I never had, my soul friend, my Anam Cara.
May peace be with you. Remember that you are in my heart forever, and until we meet again....save me a seat!

We’ve been in each other’s lives for 65 years. As kids we lived together, we laughed, we fought, we cried and we didn’t always show the love that we both had inside. I will miss being able to call you and spend hours talking about everything. Reminiscing about walking home from school, turning on American Bandstand and dancing around the living room until Mom yelled at us to knock it off. Getting excited when Dad brought home donuts from Foreman’s, and realizing later in life that Mom fed us homemade ice cream sandwiches for dinner because it was easy. Yes, being Italian, our lives revolved around food. We were proud of our Italian Heritage!! How we would both get excited in October because we loved Halloween, and volunteering at the museum’s Air & Scare allowed us both to get dressed up again and eat candy all night. I will miss the birthday celebrations, holidays and, even though you said you hated Christmas, we enjoyed planning dinner (especially the Italian dinner) and looked forward to the crazy Christmas gift exchange. Memories fade overtime, but you are not a memory – you are a part of me. Sisters share a closeness no one else can understand. My heart is broken in a thousand pieces – I miss you.

Nancy & Garry were my very good friends in 1985 when Gary was serving as a member of the Defense Studies Team at Royal Air Force College Cranwell, UK. They were great fun & Nancy was a very fine hostess whenever they were entertaining at home. I will always have very special memories of them and I will be thinking of Gary and all of Nancy's family as they come to terms with their loss in the difficult months ahead. My love to you all, Colin Eames Wg Cdr RAF (Rt'd)

Sending our deepest sympathy to the Connor family. My best memory is of Nancy teaching me to make spaghetti sauce and the fun she made of me making a mess of my kitchen. The photo is from 1979 when we were stationed together with our husbands in Alabama. She will be missed. Love and prayers to all.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Nancy my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will miss her calls and visits to our office always with a Hey Deb it's Nancy Connor and always with treats for us when she came for an appointment. She was always asking about my kids and would fill me in on hers and how everyone was doing always with a smile and a laugh. I will miss her even though I was only a very small part of her world. Thanks for the kindness and laughter Nancy you will be missed!
