Dear Boyce and Greg,

Beverly, Josh and I express our deepest sympathy to you on learning about the death of Nancy. She was not only an excellent teacher but also a tremendous mother, wife and church member at Skyland United Methodist Chuch. She will be remembered as one who did God's will by the way she cared for her students, church members and especially her family.
Charles L. Adams, your former minister at Skyland

Boyce and family, I was saddened to learn of the "Home" going of Nancy. My Prayers are with you.
Arlene

My condolences to the family. I was probably in one of her first Spanish classes at Lee Edwards. She was very kind and I have never forgotten her smile.

My thoughts and prayers to you all. I had Mrs Lyon for Spanish II an III and was also an aide for her my senior year (92). I really enjoyed knowing her.

my prayers are with you and your family. she taught me at Lee edwards in 67 and 68. She loved teaching and she will be missed

Mrs. Lyon was my Spanish teacher in the 9th grade and was always so nice. My prayers are with her family, she was a special teacher!

What a terrific Spanish teacher. She was my Spanish teacher at Lee Edwards during the 1960's. I enjoyed her classes so much, I continue with Spanish classes at UNC-A. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I had Nancy for Spanish I and maybe II....I know I had Toby Bagwell for Spanish III our senior year in 1964-65. She was a great lady and joy for a teacher. She made learning easy and, more importantly, fun. I believe the last time I saw her was when I was home on leave from Vietnam in 1968 and stopped by LHE...I used to enjoy the stories she told about Elkin and Wilkesboro which is a stones throw from my father's hometown in Alexander County. I shall always...

Boyce and Family,
My condolences to you and the family. I did not know your wife, but you and I worked together a lot of years at American Enka Company/BASF.
May God be with you and your family.
