Dear Hammon Family, I was saddened by the news of the loss of Nancy. She was such a unique talent, only a few minutes around her and you knew she was someone special. We were roommates for a short time when we were both much younger. I loved hearing her practice her music and her smile was true and warm. My condolences to the families, may God bless them at this time of such sorrow.
