Not sure what to say?

I met Nancy in Costa Rica in 1996 when I was a young student working in my year out (I´m from tired UK). Nancy helped look after the B&B with me while the owners were on vacation. I was young (19) and naive and curious about the world. We had lengthy meaningful conversations every evening over a fortnight about the meaning of life and our roles in it. Nancy´s words and thoughts stuck with me and I think of Nancy often. Thank you Nancy for being one of the important people in life. Sending...

I think of Nancy quite often, especially when driving down Northwest Highway past the Northway Christian Church. I met her there when I was playing softball & she was working in the snack bar. I asked her, immediately, for her phone number. My first love. Her contribution to society was unparalleled.

May you rest in Peach Ms. Nancy.

We met Nancy near Proyecto Adelante's start and shared office space. What a delightful person! So much enjoyed her laugh, and especially her perseverance in finding a solution to enormous issues--especially the advocacy work for Central Americans. Nancy will be greatly missed. Blessings on all of you who will be celebrating her life on Saturday.

Rest in the arms of Angels sweet lady. You were loved and admired for all you did to make this world a better place.

May you rest in peace in your mansion of Glory! Thanks for showing us the true meaning of giving of yourself! May your families hearts be filled from this day forward with the Faith and morals you showed them! Spread those beautiful wings and enjoy eternity!!! Blessing to flow always and forever!!! Peace Always!!

With deepest sympathy but also celebration for Nancy's life

Such a loss for so many. Nancy was an inspiration. She instilled a deeper ability to understand what MY life should be about aand what it means to REALLY care and REALLY want to be a difference. She was a beautiful believer. Feel incredibly blessed that she touched my life and that I knew her. Rest well sweet one.

Thanks Nancy - you set very high standards in terms of thoughtfulness, integrity, great humour and excellent work in sometimes difficult circumstances. Excellent. Never forgotten. Here's to you - cheers!
