I never personally met you. But I knew you. Nancy is my dear friend and I am sure the many qualties she has,came from you. A wicked sense of humor. A loving person who is fair and loving to all. She knows no prejudice . Her zest for life is contagious. She is truely a loving wife and loyal friend. I have know her for thirty years and for 25 years of the thirty years we lost contact. I am sure it was because we just wore each other out. You gave her everything in life that is important. She loved you and all of us love you through her. I can't imagine how much loss those who knew you feel. Your footprint on this earth will go on until all of us meet you again and some for the first time. I can't help but smile and think of the legacy you left behind.
Dene was always a person that made me feel warm & welcome, wherever we may have encountered each other. I have fond memories of hanging around "Pete's Ponderosa" as a child, watching her mow grass, and that beautiful bed of Cannas south of the house on Rt 127. She portrayed a life well lived. Sanders Family, know that you are in my thoughts & prayers.
Sorry for your lost. You have many years of good memories.
