I remember that all the cousins used to go to a costume party in College Point and we stayed overnight on the floor etc

I never had the pleasure of meeting Nancy, but after I got married Nancy sent me bathtowels that match the colour scheme of my bathroom. I have still some of the bathtowels to this day. I always appreciated her generous gift.

In 1990 my mum and I had a lovely holiday in Florida with Nancy and uncle Dan.
I met your mother in 1985. Was in New York. Went up to Toronto in October, didn't realise how cold it could be. She had bought me a winter jacket. Always remember that.

I wanted to reach out to you and tell you how sorry I am to hear about Aunt Nancy. I know she was in pain but i also know she was a pretty amazing woman. I’ll never forget her, Uncle Danny, Aunt Sue, Uncle Walter, Aunt Peggy and Uncle Ed and my grandparents sitting around the kitchen table when grandma was sick for what seemed like a month shooting the shit and drinking endless cups of coffee. She was a pisser and I loved her. She got my sister and I three amazing dolls with crotcheted dresses I think she made herself and I remember my grandma talking about murals she used to paint in her house in her youth with deer and a forest. I still imagine what that might have looked like. Love you & thinking of you.

My dear Elizafish, I'm so sorry. What a beautiful tribute to such a beautiful woman. I have such wonderful memories of your mom- she was sweet, sassy, strict, yet funny and oh so loving all at the same time. My deepest condolences, you know I know what you're going through. Sending you tons of love and prayers. Love you always my friend

I have known your Mom for close to 60 years, being a good friend of Michael. Many fond memories of visits to her homes in College Point and Flushing. Although she likely felt I was the Eddie Haskell in Michaels life, she always welcomed with a smiling , “Hello Louie, how are ya?” I did not like being called that, Lou being preferred, but I dared not say that to her. As you said in her life story, she could be prickly.
Fond memories of visits later after Mike and Ro married, where we welcomed Grand children, communions, baptisms and weddings. Again Hello Louie.
Two weeks ago, I chatted with her in her final days when I called to check on her and Michael put her on the phone” Hello Louie, how are ya?
We talked for five minutes and I wished her well. I knew it was the last time I would hear it. Yes she was testy, somewhat gruff and always cantankerous, but a sweet Irish lass she was. Safe journey
