Nancy's Memorial








It's Sunday evening, and Shawn and I just got back from South Carolina. We picked up Shawn's brother Kevin at the Charlotte airport on Friday and headed down. It was an emotional, moving, and fun weekend. On Saturday, about 50 people came to celebrate the life of Nancy Bottomley, John's sister. She passed away from breast cancer. All three of Nancy's sons and her husband David were there. "The Bottomley Boys" as they are affectionately named. They are a blast. Warm, open, and jolly people. David is English, and the boys have lived in England the U.S. One of the sons still lives in London and came over just for this event! I only met Nancy twice but I feel like I know her from hearing stories about her all weekend and getting to know her sons and husband. Wee hours of the morning were filled with laughter, let me tell you! Notice the keg of beer and lots of red plastic cups....hmmm
