What can I say about my best friend’s mom, Mrs. Nancy Schnair, AKA the bionic woman??? She’s gone through a lot and remained strong all these years, even with MS that she was diagnosed with decades ago. I don’t know how she made it, but her and Howard brought up two of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I’m proud to say I’ve known the Schnairs since the late 60’s or early 70’s when they moved down the street from us in Northbrook on Woodlawn Road. Mrs. Schnair was someone I’ll never forget because she took great care of all of us as kids. She won’t be forgotten. My heart goes out to Barry and Don and all the cousins. A whole era is gone. Now it’s up too the Schnair boys and families to carry on the tradition!
