Please know that your sorrow is shared by all who knew Nancy. Last time I left a message for her, was on her birthday (Nov. 1). I always called her and sang "Happy Birthday" to her on her special day. We have been in Mexico for 5 1/2 months and were so sad to hear of her passing. She was such a fun person and a good friend in Daughters of the Nile She will be missed by everyone. My prayers are with you.

Nancy has blessed so many lives with her skills and talents, her energy and her enthusiasm. Her hand were never still, always busy creating and serving. She will be missed by all who knew her.
You children are so blessed to have had such a special, vibrant Mother to teach you and to love you all these years. I think she and Lloyd will always be watching over you from their vantage point.
God Speed, and all our love to you.

I believe Nancy was a member of Bosom Buddies, which I was also a member of a number of years ago. I remember how inspirational she was at those meetings. It made a big difference for me adjusting to having breast cancer. I will always remember her for that. Thank you Nancy for me and for all the other survivors you helped.
