Sorry this is so late! Just wanted you to know how very sorry I am about the loss of your mom. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was a super wonderful lady and I know how very much you will all miss her. You have been in my thoughts and prayers!

My sincerest condolences to the Nance family who grew up in the house I now live in. Now and then I come across a reminder of your family. I only knew her by purchasing her home but she was a kind and honest person. After we purchased the home she sent us a check as she had received a claim for roof damage and thought it should belong to us. Little gestures that show what a person is made of. Rest in peace

To all the Nance family, my heartfelt condolences. Your mom and dad both made this world a better place. I don't know of many families that could field an entire baseball team themselves, but you guys did! (with Alla Rebia serving as the scorekeeper). Your mom's eternal reward is certainly assured. She was devoted to her family, loving to all she knew and ever-faithful in her service to God. I look forward to seeing her again some day, as do we all. Thank you for sharing her with us. May she rest in peace.

Sam and Nance Family,
Another part of the old St Pat's family has passed and will be dearly missed. I remember your mother very well, she was always around school doing something and she was never without a smile. She had to be blessed daily by God to have had the strength to keep up with you and all your brothers. Our families thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Mark Stump

What a blessing she was to our community! Her many children (and grandchildren) have made the world a much better place. So fitting she would return to her Lord on the weekend the gospel read "Well done my good and faithful servant." Praying for you all.

I knew your mom from Cornerstone. I lead a hymn sing-a-long & when your mom felt up to it she would attend. Rebia was always happy & upbeat & would speak so fondly of you all (her family).
I really enjoyed getting to know Rebia (my parents have lived at Cornerstone as well for 7 1/2 years. ) Dad is in the long term side now & Mom was still in the assisted living side until the end of September, when she passed away as well.
Please know my prayers & thoughts are with your family.

Aunt Reba you will be missed. We love you to the moon and back. My heart is mixed with saddness and joy. Sad that you are gone from us but joyous that you are reunited with the love of your life and son, brother in laws, etc, etc. Celebrate and watch over us. We celebrate you and the wonderful woman you are. Sweet cousins you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Hugs to you all.
