Julie, your mother was such a dear sweet lady. I'm sure Nancy and Mom are up in heaven swapping cooking stories. I still cherish the cookbooks she gave to my mom as gifts. I'm so glad I got to visit with her a couple of years ago. She loved you so much! And was always eager to share how proud she was to have you as a daughter. We are both blessed to have had such "special" moms.
Her love and laughter will truly be missed!
I am praying you feel the comfort of God as you remember the precious women your mother was.
Love and prayers to you and your family.

Nancy was my dear sister-in-law and treasured friend. I will miss her smile, her hugs and her sage advice. Nancy was a people person..always interested in others. Our daughters treasured their time with her and uncle Bill and, like Dave and I, are heartbroken with her passing.
