First and foremost – Nancy’s great love story with Pierre, one that will live on in the annals of our family history forever. Enjoying the spring flowers together in Caledon, Ontario - weeks after her spring flowers had bloomed in Philly; brunching and laughing together at my home in High Park, Toronto - with Pierre and friends; wandering through Old Montreal with a sweet side trip to the Botanical Gardens – with Pierre, my Mom, April, Looey, my Aunt Marty and others; viewing Mars in the Night Sky at Puslinch Lake with Pierre, Kathy and her kids – during the kids’ first trip out of the country, I believe; the budding excitement and fun of heading out in the cavalcade from Puslinch Lake to Raven Lake during the summer of 2003; our rockin' bonfires (thanks to Pierre and Looey) and chuckling about my cussing out the odd Mexican or two at Raven Lake; catching Looey and Pierre cheating during the Scavenger Hunt at Raven Lake; laughing like fools when Looey got royally spooked by a grandfather raccoon; enjoying home-brewed coffee in the Cuisinart coffee maker Nancy kindly toted to the cottage; The Spudnik!!!We screamed, plugged our ears, and prayed the neighbors weren’t watching when Pierre, Looey and Justin sent potatoes flying across the lake!!; sharing meals, memories and fun at The Thousand Islands in 2010…….and her stopping traffic to protect a turtle making its way across the road. We poked fun at her for holding up traffic, but were grateful to her for watching out for those who were slower and needing more protection than others. Rest in peace, Nancy.
