We love you, Nancy
Love, Mom and Sisters
Contribution Story
Very little is known about this stole, but in its very simplicity it has touched many hearts. It has brought tears to a few, wondering what story must lay between these two lines. In that sense, it speaks volumes about the pain of those still in the closet, and the struggle of family members to speak their support even when a certain level of silence must be maintained. A quote I have shared with many groups from one who saw this stole years ago: "I don't know who Nancy is, but God bless Mom, and God bless her sisters."
