Kim, Debbie and beloved family members, your mother was the epitome of what a mother should be; filled with grace, unconditional love, quiet strength, and humility to name just a few of her traits. She was an amazing woman, and I am so thankful for having known her. I am also so thankful you were all together with her over the last year or so. Nancy exemplified the following verses:
Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. ~ I Corinthians 13:4-7.
You all will forever all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Debbie, Kim and families,
I was so sad to read about your mom's passing. She was a wonderful lady and will live on in my heart forever. I always had a special friendship with Nancy and had the honor of working and learning from her at Woodland Preschool. First as her student teacher and then as a teacher at the school. As the years went by I got to know all of you and enjoyed our friendship. There are so many memories that put a smile on my face. I am sorry I lost track of her after my move to Phoenix. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I know she is at peace with her "boys" in heaven. I wish I could be at the service to see all of you and help you through this difficult time.

Dear Family of Nancy,
I was so sad to read of Nancy's passing. I met her at a grief counseling program at Billow' at a time when both of our husband's died in 2000. There were a few of us who got together every week for breakfast after the progam ended. We extended our time together by meeting for dinners and theater. We did this until she moved to Missouri. After a while I lost contact with her. But I will never forget her and how we got each other through a very difficult time in our lives. She was a very loving and caring person. She loved her family and talked of you all often. I am so happy she was able to be near all of you the last several years of her life. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

THE BROKEN CHAIN We little knew that morning that GOD was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day GOD called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as GOD calls us one by one, THE CHAIN will link again. Author Unknown

Dear Chrisman Family, I smiled ever so lightly as I read of your Mom's passing. She was such a special lady. I was one of Paul's friends--he loved his mother so much. Knowing they are now reunited hopefully brings you comfort. God Bless
