Dear Marvin and family,
Was so sad to hear about Nancy. We have prayed for her a long time and I know your sorrow and feel you pain.
She sounded like a real trooper an though I only met her the one time she had the reputation and countenance of a Godly woman.
We are given the Holy Spirit as a comforter when we give our hearts and lives to Christ and when our loved ones are taken home, I hope you will draw from that especially in the days and weeks to come.
Knowing that you will see her again some day is also a glorious thing to look forward to and we Praise the Lord for that and making the way for us to have Eternal Life - with no pain or sickness anymore with our dear Lord and Savior - HALLELUJAH!
I did not know Nancy worked at Ukrops, so did I years ago and I didn't know she would be at a funeral home in Colonial Heights. I wish I had known we may could have gotten there as it isn't that far away.
Anyway I hope we will get to see you when we come to the mountains next week and hopefuly this cold/virus (?) I have will be gone by then.
Does Lennie know about Nancy - I will try and catch him in his comings and goings and let him know. As you know he is hard to get up with.
Again if I can do anything to help please let us know, if you need flowers for the cemetary (silk) you know I am a designer and it would be my honor to help in anyway I can.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand during this time and hold on to Isaiah 41:10 it will help. We love ya, Don and Dana Pelno (Raymond's neighbors)

My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Nancy worked for me many years and she always displayed a christian spirit in her daily life. She was loved by all at Ukrop's and we all shared many great times together.
She will be greatly missed.
