It saddened me to hear the news of Nancy's passing earlier this week. She was such a warm and kind-hearted woman who, along with Dale, always made me feel like a welcomed member of the Vaughan family.

I am so sorry that I cannot be there today to celebrate Nancy's life with all of you but know that I have been and will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending big hugs to all of you (ESPECIALLY YOU SUSIE!) from across the pond.
