No words can express the deepest sorrow I feel in the loss of your mom, grandma and more. She was such a great friend to my mom. They talked almost daily. I would see her from time to time at church, dinner and knew first hand what a remarkable soul she was and is now. Full of energy, love and devotion to her family and all of those around her. I visit your dad,George Jarvie, every time I go to my dads memorial. I will now be visiting your mom as well. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I feel blessed to have known her. She will always be with you, please know.

With love,

Donna

I'm so sorry we could not attend the funeral. Nancy was always a very happy, loving and compassionate lady. I have always had great respect for the way she lived her life. I wish we could have gotten to know her more. I'm sure she is in heaven with my Mom, Grandma and Grandpa. God bless you all with peace and love.

Mrs. Jarvie was always with her children 110% in all their passions as they grew up, especially the horse shows. She was always there to lend a helping hand not only for Sharon and David but all of us kids waiting outside the gate to go in the ring or coming out of a class. If she saw your horse needed a brushing, or you needed a smile after a not-so-good showing, she was right there with that high wattage smile, so warm and pure. RiP, Mrs. Jarvie. God bless your family.

Your Mom was a beautiful lady, inside and out! She always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. She will be surely missed.
Our thoughts and prayers to your whole family....

To the children of Nancy, we need to tell you what a lovely friend she was to us. We met her 11 years ago but became fast friends. We had many lunches and movies with her and she never failed to make us laugh. Her family, indeed was her first love. We will miss her so much and feel lucky to have known and had her in our lives. Thinking of you and missing Nancy,
Love, Van and Tom Murphy
