Will, forgive me for putting an S on your name in a couple of places, i have now elevated you to be the future King of England!

In the second paragraph, i tried to say to you that your mother spent time caring for all of the animals, and that was their reward for allowing her their companionship. She would have it no other way. I know of what i speak, i do the same thing.

God Bless you, Will.

Will, even your name projects her spirit. Her never stop energy was abundant and others were blessed with it.

She had time for everything that needed her and she was rewarded with their that was spent time with her. It was a give and receive sort of thing.

I always knew that ambition is not learned, you are born with it or you are not. We all know she was born with it and it came natural to her. Her horses, her faithful dogs and cats, the wonderful people she dealt with in her daily routine all shared her dreams and helped her with them.

But Wills, as a mother of a wonderful son who i am as proud of as your mother is and always will be of you, be strong in the knowledge that she showed you the way as you follow in her gallant and truly decent footsteps.

I noted that the date you chose to publish the notes she wrote was my birthday, April 5 and many on Steve Haskin's blog wished Steve, Zenyatta and myself a Happy Birthday. I wished i had known of your mother's illness, i would have sent blessings to her. I do that now and also to you.

Wills, be proud young man as there is no relationship more dear than a mother and a son, and a father and a daughter. May you be always be successful in everything you wish for in life and thank you for telling us about your mother. I did not know her, but i do now and admire her immensely as i do you.

Will,

Bless your mom for who she was and you for carrying out her wishes as best you can. I was fortunate enough to have mailed and emailed your mom a few times after 2002 to keep up wwith Magic Weisner and his progress. I can only imagine how amazing she truly was. I sent an email just after she passed for you. Our industry dearly misses the real horsemen like your mom, the ones that put their knowledge, best efforts and heart into the business. She is still one of a kind. hope Magic is still well cared for. He helped her achieve her dream farm. Take care, Will, my heart goes out to you.

Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate all the kind words. I'm trying to carry her business but thus far have hired 8 people and had to take her horses not in training to 4 different farms. I still can't imagine how she did it all every day. Not only is it obvious her horses miss her, her dogs and cats do.....and so do I.

My husband who had a stroke 3 years ago and is turning 86 next week...remembers your mother when he was training at Laurel, MA many years ago. He remembers watching her gallop horses at the track and was at the Derby when she had a winner back in 2002...she was one in a million when it come to lovers of horses, according to him! So sorry for your loss, it was way toooo soon! She will always be looking down at you and her horses! Take care and God Bless!

DEAR WILL ; I am greatly affected by all your mother did & as proud of her as you are. Nancy embodies the total and pure spirit of what a REAL HORSEMAN IS. I am so sad that she has moved on May 03. but please know that Nancy has left a BIG mark during her life and for someone like me who does aspire to the same goals, she is a real hero & one to look up to. I wish I had been able to know her and had been her neighbor.I cry for your loss and for her horses loss of her.

Will, you are so fortunate to have such a MOM. All she is and all she taught you will remain forever.

WHAT A WOMAN !!!!!
