I am very sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. Nancy was my cousin and I always enjoyed spending the limited time that we could with her, Jim and Joan along with her parents Rita and Adolph.
May God's love be with Travis and Scott during this difficult time.

Sorry to read about Nancy's death. My Mom who is 94 and still in assisted living, is unable to attend the memorial service, but I informed her about what happened. She, and our family send our thoughts to your family and have fond memories of when we were younger and growing up as cousins.

Scott and Travis I am sorry for your loss of your mother. There is nothing that any one can say that will make the grief go away. Know that you did all that you could, and were good sons. But that I could take your pain, when you are ready, give it to God.
