Condolences to the Family

I’m so sorry for your loss Paul.  I have very fond memories working with Nancy at Funk’s.  She potted the most beautiful planters and made very pretty flower arrangements.  I have many pink hardy hibiscus plants from volunteers of her own plant, and think of her when they bloom.  I remember the beautiful cymbidium orchids she grew in her greenhouse and would bring the flowers in at Easter and make into corsages.  And I think it was her camelia that she would rave how many flowers it had on.   She was always happy and a joy to be around!  It was a privilege to have known her.  Lori (Drager) Brunner

Paul & Family,
So sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing.  I remember her fondly as a beautiful and gracious lady with a hearty laugh. I treasure her memory.  Paul, you and Nancy were always favorites when I come back to Millersville.

I’m sorry for your loss.  I did not know Nancy personally, but am wondering if you could give me Paul’s address.  My mother would like to send him a card.  She knows them both.
My e-mail would be linda.paules@cnh.com
My mother’s name is Theda Abel.  She and Paul were in the same class at school, and the 39ers went out to eat once a month.
Thank you, Linda Paules, daughter
