I went to the Mennonite Home Monday, February 17th to visit Nancy. I saw her about 2 months ago and promised to get back. She seemed good to me at that time. I am a member of Amaranth. Sherry, the receptionist checked and said she isn’t here. I wondered where you had moved her and how I could find out. Now see the obituary. So sorry to hear of her passing, but happy I did see her recently. Joanne Ellis.
