So sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. It made me so happy a few months ago when she reached out to the church at Rhyne Heights and gave us her new address. I had the pleasure to communicate with her and that gave me great joy. Know that she is at Home now, no more night, no more pain, no more tears ever crying again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to learn of Nancy Ford`s passing.

In the 50s we lived beside the Ford family on Louise Avenue in Lincolnton, North Carolina for years.

I knew Nancy, Collin and Bobby well and spent many hours in their home. Nancy and family were so nice to me during my early pre teen age years. You will be remembered.

My condolencesdjqi go out to Bobby and his entire family during your loss.

Rest in peace
