I plan to continue learning Mishnayot in her memory on a regular basis.Below is a version of the only poem I have written, which I adapted based on details in the book you have compiled and edited to celebrate Nancyís life. I hope it might provide you with a small measure of comfort.Is All Lost?Poems I do not authorBut I must expressHow it feels to loseOne so closeOne so nearAs if part of me has leftNow your powerful presenceYour lightening laughterYour voice goneDear one, only memories remainForever fading, illusions of your essenceWhat is reality? Your physical being,Or you, a warmth within me?A part that will never leave meAs well as you knew me I knew you.Your kind, helpful mannerYour energy, sincerity, and positive natureSaying, doing the right thing when neededSaying, doing nothing when not requiredHelping cure my painMaking me feel right once againIntense meditationCan bring you backMaybe not your faceNot even your smile, nor your voiceBut you, the real part that I lovedThe part I pray remains part of me.
