I was so saddened to hear of Aunt Nancy's passing. I have such fond memories of her when she and Uncle Hozy lived next to my grandparents in Dugspur and the summers my brother and I spent on the Montgomery farm. Through the years I always looked forward to seeing her at our family reunions and catching up with her. I always had great respect and love for her and will miss her. I offer my sympathy and condolences from my mother and I to Aunt Nancy's family while knowing she has reunited with...
