    Quoting Paul Hayton to Nancy Backus on 03-Oct-2019 19:30 <=-

    I'll need to look that all up on a map but I hope the trip went well :)

    Columbia Maryland is northeast of Washington DC and slightly south and west of Baltimore MD... Wake Forest North Carolina is north and a little

    I recently heard Nancy had died in the last week. I wanted to post to this
    echo to record how I will miss her presence. She was a chatty colorful person in many echomail areas and had clearly been active for years.

    I think the wider BBS community looses a special someone with her passing.

    Even though I was not overly active in Fido echos I recognize the real contribution to the social discourse that she made.

    RIP Nancy. You will be missed.

    Best, Paul

    I sent an email to Janis Kracht, with links to her obituary, and her graveside service...plus posted these in the FIDONet Memories echo, and the ILinkNet Friendly Talk echo.

    Thanks, will check this out.

    She left big shoes that no one can fill.

    Agreed. I looked at the online condolences and felt the same way.

    Thanks, will check this out.

    There was a brief mention in the FIDOGazette, released Oct. 14, 2020,
    on her passing. The rest of the stuff was what's regularly in there.

    She left big shoes that no one can fill.

    Agreed. I looked at the online condolences and felt the same way.

    I'm just sorry I never got to meet her in person.

    Daryl
