I remember Nan from my childhood when she and Edgar had their business on High Street in Trenton. She looked after the store and I would see her almost daily.. I was living in the Ottawa region when I saw Edgar's obituary in the NG NEWS. Nan's pastor came across it and gave Nan a copy. She was quite moved by my recollections of Edgar. She did not know how to get in touch with me. She asked a Trenton born gentleman, Doug Cormier if he knew me and through him was able to get my address in Winchester, Ont. She wrote me and told me how pleased she was to read my memories of her beloved Husband. I was very touched to learn how pleased she was with my comments. I promised her I would visit on my next trip to the county. when I moved back to the county, I did contact her by phone and made arrangements to visit with her at her home. We had great pleasure swapping memories. I visited her on a few occasions after that and could see she was getting quite frail, to the point where I could tell she was fading. The last time I visited, she was being cared for by a home care worker. I learned shortly after that she was residing at the Villa in Riverton. I thought she was going downhill and never was able to get over for a visit. Sadly, my wife and I were talking about this strong loving woman on April 1, and then I read her obituary 2 days later. I am saddened deeply at her passing. However, I believe she would have been happy to know she would be again reunited with Edgar. She was an amazingly strong and devoted Christian lady, to whom the pearly gates would have been opened wide.
I extend my sincere condolences to the family members she left behind. May God strengthen and bless you all .
Sincerely,
Dennis & Marguerite Ryan
