Condolences

Condolence From: Brittany
Condolence: Dear Schoch family, I wanted to send you a message to let you know I was thinking of you. I know the anniversary of your dear loved one Nancy is on your mind. I wanted to take the time to remind you of the beautiful hope she has for the future. John 5:28,29 says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What this can mean for you personally is a real hope of being reunited with your loved one Nancy. The thought of being able to hold your loved ones in your arms again is no doubt a time that you, and I, look forward to, and it is promised to us in God's Word, the Bible. (Acts 24:15)

Condolence From: B.N.
Condolence: I can tell from the comments I've read that Nancy was a wonderful person who is deeply missed by her loved ones. My condolences go to the Schoch family. I'm very sorry for your loss. Please take comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father has made provision to awaken your dear loved one from death. John 5:28,29 says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." This will be a resurrection to an eternal life, on a paradise earth. What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones under peaceful earthly conditions. (Revelation 21:4) May your pleasant memories of your loved one, and the comfort of this wonderful promise, help you endure this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Here are a few small facts about my mother that you may or may not know:

Before she had her stroke my mother hated taking left hand turns while she was driving. Often when I asked to go to a certain store she would sigh and say "Oh, that means we have to take a left hand turn. I need to think about it." To avoid this delima we would often drive miles out of our way to reach the destination from the right.

My mother loved food. She loved to cook it, eat it and eat more of it. When my mother would stay with Scott and I in Philadelphia I would often open a cupboard that looked like a little mouse had paid a visit. That little mouse was my mother.

You did not know my mother if you did not realize her love of Turner Classic Movies. My mother taught me the love of old movies and she was delighted when the man I married, 18 years ago shared her passion. Scott and I never had a visit that did not involve playing a game of "name that actor, name that director, name that movie."

My mother taught me the love and apprceciation of so many things that I would need an endless book to fill it. From my mother I take my love of old English history, my love of old movies, my love of collecting, my love of reading, my love of cooking, my love creating a "small moment" in my house, my love of nature's small gifts, and most importantly my ability to have compassion and forgiveness for other people

Condolence From: JoAnn Stewart Landon (Joni)
Condolence: I always wanted a sister. I had a wonderful brother, but I wanted a sister. Five years after my father's death, Mom married Dad and I hit the jackpot - I got 2 sisters! Nancy was a year older than I and came to live with us when she was a sophomore in high school. She was quick to fit in with her classmates, and did well in school. At home, she had to adjust to all of the newness of Mom's rules and a very full house. Jacky, Nancy and I shared a room - thankfully with a big closet! Although we didn't have a lot of clothes, we never shared so there were no fights over clothes. Nancy loved the popular music of the day and always had the radio on or a record on the phonograph. One funny story, she came into the living room one evening with the newest shoe polish (yes, we polished saddle shoes in those days) and Mom promptly told her to take it to the kitchen. Nancy put a layer of newspaper on the floor, sat down with"I won't spill it". Of course, she promptly spilled it and black liquid shoe polish on Mom's carpet didn't go over well! From then on she polished her shoes in the kitchen! Nancy was a great sister to me. We joined church together, attended Youth Fellowship together and went to football games together - until she got a boyfriend! It was fun to have a "big sister". I am far away, but will always be at the end of a phone line, Don, Debbie and Laurie. We will all miss her.

Condolence From: Denny & Ruth Thran
Condolence: Donny and my husband, Denny, are cousins. I first met Donny & Nancy when they had us for guests at their beautiful home in Sandy Hook many years ago. I immediately formed an adoration for Nancy (you, too, Donny!). While there, Nancy treated us to gourmet meals and deserts that I cannot replicate even using her recipes. We spent several glorious times with Nancy & Don at their cabin on Lake Vermillion, a piece of heaven on earth. Nancy and I would go raspberry picking, although Nancy ate more during the pick than we'd bring back to the cabin! I truly adored Nancy - her quick wit, her grace, her stamina even with her physical limitations. Denny's most precious memory of Nancy is sitting on the porch of their cabin, drinking morning coffee together and listening to the loons just enjoying the peace and beauty of the lake. I will miss Nancy tremendously. Donny & Nancy had a marriage like no other, they were devoted to each other and enjoyed so many activities. They were always on the go go go! Our hearts go out to Donny and the girls. We know Nancy is painfree in heaven, for which we send up thanks, but she is missed here on earth. Love and prayers always, Denny & Ruth

Condolence: I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Nancy. I worked with Nancy at Taunton Press in the mid/late 80's. I have so many wonderful memories of our time working together. My fondest memory of her was how hard she made us laugh. She always had a funny story to tell. My thoughts and prayers go out to Don and her daughters. She will be sorely missed.

Condolence From: Ruth Mary Porter
Condolence: I, Ruth Mary Porter of Glen Ellyn, IL met Nancy for the first time in Geneva, Switzerland at the hotel where the CT Over the Hill Gang ski club was staying. My late husband Hobie and I were on the verge of leaving for O'Hare airport when our limousine drove in the driveway and the phone rang at the same time. The call was from United Airlines informing us the cancellation of our flight to New York City to join the CT ski club because of a snowstorm in NYC. Hobie made some frantic calls asking for possibility of flying to Geneva by other airlines. Within a half hour we were lucky to be able to fly to Geneva with a stopover in Preswick, Scotland. The limousine driver stayed faithfully to transport us to the airport and didn't charge for a long wait. We didn't make it on time to join the Ski Club at the airport in Geneva but took a taxi to the hotel which cost us 75 dollars for a short trip to the hotel!!! Met Nancy and Don and the rest at the hotel on time to go out to eat with them. That was our first trip with the CT club which we joined so we could take ski trips overseas. (We belonged to the over the Hill Gang Ski Club in Chicago). When I first met Nancy, I realized how fortunate I was because we both were Handicapped . Nancy medically and I physically due to my deafness since birth. We hit it off and stayed good friends. We had visited with them at their home in Sandy Hook and at their cabin up north in the woods of Minnesota. And they had stated at our house in Glen Ellyn, too. Don would drop off Nancy at our house before going up north for fishing with Hobie going along. Nancy and I always had a good time going antiquing, visiting museums, eating out, shopping, etc. Nancy had a cute sense of humor. I want you, Don to know how much I am going to miss my true friend. Love Ruth Mary

Condolence: Nancy Lou, what can I say that would adequately summarize our lifetime? I will not share our memories, our very special memories, as that would only minimize their importance.
We, you and I, shall forever keep those memories between the two of us.

We did so much together both before and after our marriages. We’ve known each other since well before we even met the men who were to become our husbands. What a great journey through the ups and downs of life!

I’m so sorry you had to endure a long good-bye on this earth and know deep in my heart that you are at peace, out of discomfort and looking down on all of us wondering what all the fuss is about.

You were, and will always be, a part of my life. Thank you Dear Nancy!

Condolence From: Jacky Wormley Carr
Condolence: My fondest memories of my sister, Nancy, was visiting Grandma and Grandpa Stiver who lived in a large country house with lily ponds, flower and vegetable gardens. They had chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. Our grandparents catered to the grandchildren with an attic filled with toys and doll furniture made by our grandfather. Our grandmother made sure the dining room cupboard was always full of candy which we could help ourselves at any time. Over the years, we had several enjoyable trips together visiting Cape Cod, Boston, Plymouth Plantation and New York. In August 2010, we visited Nancy and Don's cabin at Lake Vermillion in Cook, Minnesota. Nancy and I picked blueberries together and she made a blueberry pie which was a real treat. In October 2011, we celebrated Nancy and Don's 50th wedding anniversary in Kauai, Hawaii. Nancy loved the warm weather and we had fun looking for seashells on the beach.
Nancy has always had good spirits and she was thankful for the love and support from friends and family.

Condolence From: Barbara Wormley Tompkins
Condolence: I have such fond memories of a happy time in my childhood when Nancy and her sister, Jackie, came to live with my family, for a while, in our house in Cleveland. Since I didn't have sisters, it was a real treat for me. I remember how sweet and soft spoken Nancy was, traits that she continued to have into adulthood. Rest in peace, Nancy, and thank you for the memories.
