I am so sorry for your loss. Nancy was one of the sweetest people I knew. She and I were flying buddies back in the days, super sleuths and midnight bowlers together. We had recently connected again and I loved catching up on old times. I know that she is with her dad and Herman, and she is smiling down on all of us saying, "Get on with life my friends!" Rest in Peace sweet Nancy.

I am sorry to hear about your dear love one. During this time of great sadness, I hope that the family find comfort from James 4:8. It says, "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you." Along with family and friends, may you'll also look to God for comfort.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Allison and the Glennan family. It would be years between visits and we would pick up where we left off. Nancy,had a sense of humor that would make your sides hurt with laughter. I am sure she is flying with the angels and I hope I get a whisper from her telling me what a great trip she is having in Heaven. Rest in peace my friend. May God bless Nancy and her entire family.
