I just found out about the passing of Nancy. I used to work with Nancy at Ben Spurgin Insurance. She was a wonderful lady and such a joy to be around. Although I haven't seen Nancy in a few years, I will miss her greatly.

It was my priviledge to know Nancy for the past 4 years. She was my email buddy and I treasure her kind notes and blessings she sent my way each day. She was a grand lady and I will miss her, but most of all, I celebrate her life, for she was one of God's gifts to me. May He bless you in the coming days.

Just want to tell you your mom was one of the sweetest women I have ever worked with. She could bring you out of any kind of depression and laughing your head off in a few seconds. We will miss her more than we can even imagine here in the office. May God bless all of you and keep you safe in his arms. Keep in touch with us.
