Condolences
The family of Nancy L. Besaw has received the following condolences.
To the Family of Nancy Besaw,
We send our most sincere condolences to all of you. Even though we didn't get to see Nancy as often as
would have liked to, thank God for email. While everyone elsewhere was sound asleep, she and I would be
up having nice conversations via email. The last time we were in Rochester, it was apparent she was not
doing well but she would never burden you by complaining or being anything but her usual happy and
laughing self,
She will very much be missed.
I am one of the 3 'found' sisters (the one from Fond du Lac, WI) so it's only been the last 14 years that we
knew anything about each other, but there are still a lot of good memories.
I guess we can only be thankful knowing she is no longer struggling with life and is in a much better place.
Bill & Patti Kuehn
Aggie and I share in your sadness as we lost Nancy.
We were blessed with the opportunity to share some time together that we will always remember.
We truly believe she is in a place were it is no longer a struggle to take the next breath or have an oxygen hose to drag around.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys and your families as you celebrate your Mom's life
Uncle Dave & Aunt Aggie
