I was so upset to hear the news about Nancy. She was always such a happy go-lucky little girl tagging along with my sister, Terrie. My heart goes out to all of her family. I wish there were some words I could offer to take away your pain and grief.

Nancy and I grew up together though I had moved away she was and will always be my beloved friend. I will always remember her smile and her beautiful auburn hair. We shared so much and we had so much fun. I will treasure her and the many memories I have of her and her family. They will always be a part of me. I am so sorry to all of her family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Nancy has been a dear friend and a part of our family for the past 6 1/2 years. As our nanny for my 3 children she filled their lives with her love, enthusiasm and spirit. She was always dancing around the house and loved to laugh and do art projects with the kids. She created laughter for children in numerous homes through her work at Creative Images. So many friends there are grieving her loss as well. Our hearts and prayers are extended to her family. May the love of our Lord carry you through this very difficult time and may He welcome Nancy with love and His mercy.

My wife Marietta and I are sorry to hear of the loss of his daughter and will pray for him and the family during this difficult period. In the love of Jesus, Dan & Marietta McFadden
