I was extremely saddened to hear Nancy's name announced in church this morning. Our family has lovingly referred to them s "Grandma and Grandpa" for a long time since I know Meg and family. I know it was a struggle for them to not be the one left alone. I hope they find their way into each other's arms again soon. And may she continue the dancing in heaven! Prayers to you all.
