My condolences and deepest sympathy go out to the family of Nancy Albert! I had the pleasure of traveling with Nancy on a Pilgrimage in 2001, and it was then that I came to know this strong woman as a true Prayer Warrior! She was the model of Christian Charity and of God's True Love, a pillar of the Faith! She continues to be an inspiration to me, and I am a better person for knowing her. With a mix of sadness and joy, I will continue to pray for her immortal soul, and pray to her for her intercession as she now sits in the company of her beloved St. Joan of Arc, Our Lady of Prompt Succor and Our Dear Lord, Jesus Christ.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Nancy Albert, Pray for us!

So sorry for the family. Nancy was a great leader. I was in Homebuilders and Chamber with her and have thought of her a lot lately, but lost touch.
She was a community activist.
