Not sure what to say?

We will fondly remember Nancy as demonstrating kindness, care and affection towards others. She was Mary Lee's best friend for many years. She is now with a loving God in heaven. We send our sympathy to her daughters and their families.

Punky, Suzie, Patty - The world needs more sweet and caring people like your Mom. She was a friend, an advocate, and a second mother to all of us as we grew up in Birchwood. May the smiles of your memories help wash away the tears.

Punky and Susan, Sending my condolences and blessings to the Massingham clan. I have many good memories of working along with Nancy in the Altar Guild. She was always so willing and dedicated to do her best for Grace. You certainly hit the jackpot with Sherm and Nancy as your parents! Dianne

Dear Punky: I don't recall having the pleasure of meeting your mother. However, I am certain she left her earthly home knowing the lasting value her love and devotion to her family resulted in the beautiful families they have become. Smiles are mine going back to Woodcliff School when John was in my first fifth grade class...1961-62 (?) I believe you were across the hall in Mrs. Miller's class...(again, ?) And then, Mike and David along with Mom and Dad were part of my many fond...

For as long as I can remember, Nancy attended all the Delta Gamma meetings that were ever held in Grand Rapids. She was an inspiration to us all! We will miss her!

You couldn't ask for a better friend.

Dear Punky and Susan, What an amazing life your mother lived! So many wonderful memories for all of your family. Our prayers are with you as you mourn her absence in your lives. Carolyn and Jim Morse

I am sending my deepest condolences to you and your families after the death of your mother. Even though Nancy was blessed with a long life, we never stop loving and needing our moms at times.
