Condolences
The family of Nancy Margaret Leqve has received the following condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Nancy on 5 Mary Brigh - she was such a hard worker and loved being a nurse. I always remember how she much she loved Arne and her family. She had a generous spirit and was an excellent holiday baker. She shared her baking with my family (and there was never a crumb left over).
Mark, Ann, Tom, and Theresa,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was an amazing woman with a very kind heart. She was truly a good friend. And always there if I needed her. We shared many happy times. She introduced me to bingo and she enjoyed our bingo and casino outings. I was grateful I could take care of the house while she wintered in Texas. She and your dad were great landlords. Now they are reunited. I'm sure he was there to greet her at the gates of heaven. May she rest in peace.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
You have my sympathy. Nancy and I worked on 5MB. I always enjoyed working the night shift with her. We always worked hard and gave our patients the best care. It is such a good memory.
Our thoughts and prayer's go out to the Leqve family. Sorry for your loss.

To the entire Leqve family,
I was saddened to hear of your Mother's death. Now she is with her "Arn" and much happier. She was a great "Winter Texan" neighbor as well as friend for many years. Nancy was very proud of all her children and grandchildren. She spoke of all of you often. Thoughts and Prayers sent to all of you.
