I never knew Nancy as I am new to BFUMC but have come to love Don when he comes into our Sunday school class each Sunday. I know how much Nancy meant to him and my heart goes out to him at this time. May God be with you, Don, as he has been with me so many times.

I remember Miss Nancy's gift with the children at the church, even when she gave the children's messages when I was little. She will be greatly missed. Love and sympathy to Mr. Don and family.

Nancy was such a true friend abd so sweet and kind to everyone and loved by all. She was a truly beautiful person inside and out and such an asset to our church, our Sunday School Class and our UMW. She and Don were an inspiration to all of us and such role models. She will be missed so much.
