Not sure what to say?

Boy it seems like yesterday.i see your pictures and think of you often.i miss you.

I have been pondering in my heart as what to write "Nanc". So much is in my memories that I can't even begin to put down on paper what I want---I guess one of the most memorable are the many times at 1 o'clock in the earliest time of the morning in a blizzard in N.H. and next door looking out my window and saying, "Well, Nanc is up, her light is on outside, so I'll go over, I can't sleep!!!" Trudging through 1 foot of snow, we would stay up until 4 or 5 in the morning, and then walking back...

My condolences to the Bateman family. I have many fond memories of the Minstral shows that my father Doc Pearce and Nancy were involved in when I was a kid. I hope that all of your memories of Nancy will help comfort you in this time of loss.

Dear Nana, you're passing weighs heavily on our hearts. We will miss you dearly.
I will always remeber the time you took Jacanna into the bathroom to scrub her dirty knees until they were raw, only to find out that she was just very very tan.
I like how you always noticed my new perfume, and how that flyswatter was inevitably in your hand.
Peace be with you dearest Nana. You were generous and kind, and your spirit will be with us all.

Dear Tammy, Phillip, Chris, Abe & Amber,

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother Nancy. Try to think of all the good times. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so hoping too see her again. before she left us. she offered to teach me how to sing,but my voice was so bad, I couldn't let her hear me. I wished I did let her teach me.
She was a wonderful neighbor and a good friend. I'll miss her. Astrid Grant

Tammy, Phil, Chris, Abe, Amber & John.
I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Just happened to come across a letter she wrote for me a few years back, like always, she had kind words for everybody. I wish we would have stayed in touch. Thinking of you all in this sad time.

To Nancy’s family, please accept our heartfelt condolences and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I can’t imagine the joy and wonder Nancy must have felt when she opened her eyes and saw Jesus welcoming her into the kingdom with open arms. How she must be rejoicing to finally be with her Savior. She wanted all of us to be saved, and she never gave up calling, writing, pushing, prodding, convicting, convincing, pleading with us to believe in Jesus and to read God’s words and stand...
