So sorry to hear about Aunt Nancy's passing. She was an amazing lady and touched so many lives, through her teaching, church work, and as a wife and mother. She was such an optimistic person, and this truly showed in the way she lived her life. Praying for all her family, we know how much she will be missed. Love Angie and Bryant

My prayers are with the entire family. I was blessed to share many years of friendship with Nancy and now have so many wonderful memories. She was godmother to our oldest son, Patrick, and am grateful to her for that. May your memories bring you peace and comfort.

Our condolences to all of you, Uncle John, Suzanne, Jim and all your family. Nancy gave me special comfort shawl for my birthday a while ago. I still use it for that purpose and remember her prayer group that did it. We would like to extend today some of that comfort . Love always. Luz and Joe Feldmann
