To Nancy's family she was truly a DIAMOND, no on like her with her smiles and jokes and loving my mac and cheese. I will miss our talks and text. Now she is that DIAMOND GUARDIAN ANGEL ONE OF A KIND.
MUCH LOVE,

A life taken too soon.... A beautiful soul that will never be forgotten . It is not often that an individual leaves their mark on so many people. You were a light in the midst of your own darkness and fighter until the end. May you rest in peace beautiful Nancy.
Love
