I was disappointed that I was unable to attend the services for Nancy and missed an opportunity to see all of you. I always enjoyed seeing Nancy intermittently through the years. I will remember her welcoming smile and her presence at the family get togethers we shared years/decades ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Nancy was a straight shooter, and I loved that about her. You knew where she stood! Always a smile on her face. So many fond memories from 'back in the day', and it was so nice to be able to reconnect with her in the past few years. She will be missed, but I stand by what I said, and that is....Heaven has gotten one fiesty angel now!! Much love to the family.

Dear Danny,
I remember every April Nancy was able to say she had 1 week more than Wayne, unfortunately, Wayne can now say he has 5+ years more than Nancy getting into Heaven. I am sure there are some good stories and lots of laughter going on as I write this. I am sorry we did not make the services, I was not alerted until late yesterday afternoon and I was out of town at the time. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family, Nancy was one of a kind. Love, Deidre' (Dee)

My deepest condolences to the family. May the assurance at Psalms 29:11 provide comfort to you at this difficult time.

Always enjoyed seeing Nancy - first as a kid when the whole clan would get together - and later as she devoted her time to help others with their struggles. Truly blessed to have known her.

Nancy was the best and am so sorry to hear this news. Loved watching her dance the Jig at parties and her love of family. RIP dear Nancy, you will be missed by so many!
