Dear Watt and family; I was deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. Nancy and I became lasting friends as we were both in "the class of '63" at Victoria Hospital in London. Nancy was always a source of positive energy for us during those years, and inspired us with her passion for nursing. She had an infectious giggle that always made a bad day brighter. I am sure that over the years, those qualities were important to those patients she cared for and the staff she worked with at UH. Nancy might have been small in stature, but she was mighty in many ways. Please accept my deepest sympathy, I know that she loved her family dearly and her loss will be difficult for you. She is at peace and will live forever in our hearts. God Bless you all , sincerely, Linda

On behalf of the GM/GD Retiree Club, our deepest condolences to Watrous and family. Many years ago, when I worked with Wat, I got the chance to meet Nancy at some GM social functions. Nancy was one of the nicest ladies that I had ever met. Small in stature and a very nice lady inside and out. Kathy Lucier, President, GM/GD Retiree Club

Uncle Wat, I simply cannot express how much Nancy means to me. You always advised me that I should choose someone who was both beautiful and intelligent when seeking someone with whom to spend my life. You knew the value of this combination because you were already with Nancy, a lady who had both of these qualities. My fondest memory of Nancy was from a visit you had made to New Brunswick. We were golfing at Fundy National Park and I remember her walking down the first fairway doing her meditative exercise. She was so happy and peaceful! Afterwards we had an unforgettable lunch with the hummingbirds in Alma. To this day, whenever I see a hummingbird of even just a symbol of one, my first thought is of Nancy. I wish I could be with you now, but circumstances don't allow it. Please know that you are now and will always be in my prayers and my heart. Love to you and Ken and Wendy. Tom
