Nancy Boeshaar

Bill's sister, Nancy, passed away yesterday afternoon. She was visiting in-laws in NJ (I believe) and curled up on the couch with a stomach ache. She rolled over, complaining about her back then she was gone. She just turned 60. They believe it was an aneurysm. No funeral date has been set. The body has to be transported from NJ to SC.

We do not plan on attending the funeral. If it is early in the week, I may try applying my thumb to Bill's back. Don't know that it would even work... He and Nancy are not close and haven't seen each other in over 20 years. His sister Helena is the one who called and he is close to her.

Bill is the baby of the family. Helena was the first born. I THINK she's 63. Then there's Nancy and finally Bill, who turned 55 in Feb. Helena is taking it hard. Bill will be doing what he can in the years ahead to be there for her.

I am reminded of John 14:1-3 Jesus has prepared a place for her! I can just imagine Him whisking her up in his arms and carrying Nancy to her new home with Him! It's a celebration of life. Not as we know it but different and infinitely better. The fairy tale of being taken away by Price Charming has finally come true for Nancy - only His name is "Jesus"

I am so sorry Patricia. That is a classic sign of a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. Tell Bill we love him and are keeping his family in prayer
