So sorry for your loss. May God be with you and bring you comfort. My tie with Nancy is from Kodaikanal, South India.

Aunt Nancy was my earliest definition of Scottish common sense and straight talk. Nothing I did ever got by her, but she was always gracious about correcting me. There is nothing about Sangli I could remember without seeing her and Uncle Bob in my mind. There are some people one can absolutely never forget, and some we should never forget--she was both.

Love, prayers and peace to you all.

We have wonderful memories of this amazing woman who changed the world one person at a time. We weren't able to attend the memorial, but send our love and thoughts to the whole family. She was a gift from God to the world.

I met Nancy Ramer at Rob and Debi's wedding. She was easy to learn to care for immediately. I have treasured her love, friendship and prayers ever since. She was a sweet, caring, loving woman and I admired her very much and always will. She became family immediately!

Dear Rob, Lyn, Jody, and Tim -- My thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your Mom. Many good memories from when we were all kids together!

What an AMAZING woman Nancy was! She always had a smile for everyone, and a wonderful sense of humor. I so enjoyed listening to her share her thoughts on life, and her memories from her missionary work. She was one of the "Great Scots" and will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Especially our Scottish Community here in the Twin Cities and the Twin Cities Scottish Club.

My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy's family during this difficult time.

With Love and Sympathy,

Nancy was so good to me; an encourager, a prayer and mentor. She truly did rejoice and weep with me.
