Barbara found Nancy's comments in her *book about the possibility of the same person being born twice interesting....interesting thoughts by young Nancy!

Its really hard to read all of this but it shows what a great life Nancy had. Its a great page. In the textbook that she wrote, on the last page she talked about whether or not a person will ever come back and get to live life again, she stated that your particular strand of DNA happened once so its not impossible for it to happen again, or something like that. I think that would be a great sort of epitath for her, in hope that she could live again, which could be put on her page.
EVEN THOUGH THE BEER COMMERCIAL SAID YOU ONLY GO AROUND ONCE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOUR EXACT BIOCHEMICAL COMBINATION OCCURRED AGAIN?
You are alive and conscious. You see with your eyes and hear with your ears. You exist. You are you and not somebody else' you are unique. you "reside" in your body' others "reside" in theirs. The reasons that so many different people exist in the world is probably that there are so many different biochemical combinations that can result in a human being. Perhaps you are you because you possess a particular biochemical combination, and others are different because they possess different combinations.
If the universe does not end but continues to be active indefinitely, it is probably only a matter of time before somewhere out among the trillions of stars and trillions of worlds, your biochemical combination comes up again - by chance. Al though you'd have no memory of the past (memories are a function of experience), you would be alive again-seeing with your eyes, hearing with your ears-and conscious, perhaps as an infant beginning once again.
Question: Are you joking?
No, I'm quite serious. Your biochemical combination already has occurred once; perhaps lasting indefinitely, has some rule that once a particular combination of chemistry occurs, it can never be repeated? "You only go around once" may be a more farfetched notion than "you keep going around"! Our view of one life may be shortsighted. Death may be a beginning rather than an end-or it may be something else. The point is not to jump to conclusions. Unfortunately, in th3e case of "after-death phenomena, "reliable scientific evidence simply doesn't exist. It would seem, then,that we shouldn't make any assumptions-including that "you only go around once." For all any of us know, our own death may not even "exist" for us because we can never perceive it. We may have only life after life, with new bodies and erased memories to begin each one. Then again, maybe we do go around only once-or maybe only beer drinkers do.

I'LL BE SEEING YOU
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light
and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
