Kim, Your mother will be missed for her genuine love for Jesus and others. I am blessed to have known her and been a recipient of her love. She will always be remembered fondly by those of us all over who were touched by her.

Nancy was a beautiful woman and one of the strongest and inspiring I've ever had the pleasure to know. I was blessed to know her and my deepest sympathy to family and friends.

What can I say... Nancy was an amazing woman, friend, confidante, not to mention great cook and just plain fun person. She had a love for the Lord that spilled over on those around her. I do know this... the lives of our family have been blessed because our paths crossed with hers... So thankful for you, Nancy. See you in heaven!

Aunt Nancy was the sweetest and loving person. I remember her coming to visit and my husband Paul and Aunt Nancy holding hands and just talking both of them with smiles on their faces. After my Paul died Aunt Nancy's letters helped me through a lot. She always knew the right words to say. God has a special place for you Aunt Nancy. Love you with all my heart. What and awsome lady.

Diana and I had many a meal with Nancy over the years, it was alway so fun to visit with her and talk about the Lord.
I'm happy for her now and plan on seeing her someday and playing a game of catch.

What I remember best about Nancy is that she really loved Jesus. I also loved her asparagus and strawberries--and looked forward to coming to get those.
