Dear Eller Family,
My heart is heavy to learn of Nancy's untimely death. We were close friends in high school and shared many wonderful memories. Nancy was a wonderful person with a quick smile and a kind heart that she offered to all. She will be sorely missed by all whose lives she touched. May God Bless all of you and keep you in His care during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
