It is with great sadness that we have to say goodbye to my beloved friend Nancy. On the other hand we at the same time rejoice with all the angels of her arrival in heaven! My wife and I were in her life group and she was and always will be one of my favorite people in my life. When I retired and my wife was still working another member of the life group and I would pick her up and take her to places she would never have gone before. Some were in the hood in Indy and some not. She always said where are we going on our next adventure,lol. She got too visit working man´s friend for a cheeseburger, King Ribs for some BBQ ,among others. She always had a laugh and a smile. She encouraged me so much in my walk with the Lord. Love you Miss Nancy,see you when I get to heaven.

Nancy was my wonderful roommate at Indiana University for three years. We have kept in touch for these many years even though we lived in different states. I have many great memories of the times we spent together. I was a bridesmaid in Nancy´s. wedding. She was a wonderful person and always a pleasure to be with. She will certainly be missed. My sincere condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.
