Nancy I am really going to miss you. I remember you from way back in the day(yes I know we are family but apart from the family part) when you worked at the elementary school... and us always stopping at your house for a while every halloween.

To Nancy's family members,
I knew Nancy as I have worked at Lakeport Elementary since September of 1973. She was a wonderful lady and she will be missed by many.
