On behalf of the Curves family in Waynedale, we extend our sincere sympathy to Nancy's family. She was a great person and we had many wonderful chats about her family, her nursing, and her love of quilting and painting. I especially got to enjoy her as I was the circuit coach during the day hours, and it was fun having her as part of our circle. We also enjoyed having Julie on board when she was in town to visit. May the memories help sustain you during this time and help to ease the sadness in your heart. We were blessed to have her be such a part of our organization. She was a true blue Curves girl and an inspiration as a person.
Sincerely, Becky (circuit coach - Waynedale Curves)

You have my deepest sympathy, I know the feeling. I lost my wife several yrs. ago. Memories of the time you was in Germany and brought us the cuckoo clock still have it. God will be your strength during this time
