Nancy was a wonderful companion to my father, Bill Krause. They traveled quite a bit and also enjoyed their croquet matches at Ginger Cove. She was especially proud of her family and appreciated every moment with them. I know they will miss her and hope that their loving memories bring them comfort during this time of loss.
I will always remember Mom as my personal source of good, orderly direction. She did her best to teach me to do the next right thing and to learn to live life on life's terms and not on my own terms. We have been best friends for nearly seventy five years and although I can't speak with her daily on the phone as we have been doing for well over a year now, we still have a means of continuing our communications. No matter what difficulty I found myself tackling she always had the same calming response: "John, if that's the worst thing that happens to you today, I'd say you had a pretty good day." She also had a sharp sense of humor. At the very end I was feeding her Ensure through a straw. She would draw away requesting a break. Then burp and ask for more, always excusing the burp. I reminded her of what she used to say to us as kids: "Better burp and bear the shame than not to burp and bear the pain." She smiled and I told her that I had been listening to her over all those years. One final memory involved the nurses trying to roll her over to change her bedding. She was in terrible pain with her broken and dislocated shoulder. The nurses sympathized and told her they were trying to help to which she boldly stated "You are not helping!" She was a remarkable woman. As a Mom she was tops and will be missed. I love her now, always have and always will.
