I am so sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you all at this difficult time and in the passing days.
Nancy was always kind, generous, fun loving and compassionate. Her little childhood hometown is mourning the loss, and her example of dignity and grace is such a lesson for us all. Praying for her family. What a light she has been to the world.
Cyndie, Graham, and Family:
I am so sad for you. Losing a mother is always heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find peace in knowing that she is in a better place.
Love to you and your family.
Our family sends love , thoughts and prayers for family and Nancy’s many friends at her passing. Her life and service to others is a testimony to her love of Christ.
Nancy was a neighbor and great friend. We rode in her family’s VW Bug, with her sisters and another neighbor, almost every day to school for years. We talked about boys while we sunbathed in the summer, listened to records (I can’t hear “Ferry Cross the Mersey” without thinking of Nancy), walked many trips to the town square talking about what we were going to do when we grew up, attended slumber parties, watched the Beatles on TV in her parents’ living room, had many laughs, and so more. Although we didn’t keep in touch very much over the years, I always thought of her on her birthday. She was a dear friend. Love you and will miss you, Nanc! My sincerest condolences to her family. I know her passing will leave a great hole in their lives. God rest her in his loving arms.

have known and loved Nancy since we were in the nursery at the Methodist church in Carthage. We were in Brownies and Girl Scouts together and sang in the choir. Although we lost touch for many year, I am so grateful to have reunited in the past couple. Always a friend and will meet her again. Prayers for your comfort and hugs to the family. Heaven gained an angel.
