Nancy was a dear friend of mine when she served churches in West Virginia. We had many special times together then and on infrequent but good contacts after she left. I am sad to hear of her death but again thankful for the knowledge of the resurrection! Thanks be to God for the life of Nancy!

Nancy and I worked together in Charleston, WV, at First Presbyterian Church in the mid-70s after I was called there in 73. I vividly remember her face, her sense of humor, and her helpfulness. She was a "live wire" -- great fun to be around. I am flooded with sorrow at her death. May God grant her eternal rest as well as peace to her sister and others close to her.

To Nancy's family, I'm sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Nancy over the last couple of years. I enjoyed our lunches together and loved listening to her family history and life's lessons. She was a wonderful friend. I am forever grateful for the times we had together. I will miss you Nancy.

I was lucky to have Nancy as neighbor for many years. She was definitely a part of our family. She always had a good story to tell and had a great since of humor. I am going to miss her very much. She was such a great person and would do anything for anybody. I hope you are in peace now Nancy!
