How very sad I am to hear of Nancy's passing. Such a sweet, gentle and kind lady! You welcomed me when I came to the ranch and you always had a kind word and sharing heart. You will indeed be missed by so very many whose lives you touched. Sleep sweetly, dear lady, until that wonderful time you will be restored to life again in paradise.

Nancy you will be missed. Have not seen you in years but remember all of the times when we lived next door to each other in Walnut Creek and you always made me feel welcomed at your home. In fact I would hang out a lot at your home talking with your son John Jr. You are now with John Sr. Prayers to the whole family.

Nancy, your smiling face and your laughter will always be remembered. You impacted my life in so many ways growing up: the special Easter egg hunts, the family dinners, my first experience with color television, were all shared with you and your family. All of those special summers in Tahoe at the house will remain as precious memories. You will always be such an important fabric of life. You are with God now, making His world a better place. Love, Cousins Janice and Gene

My dearest Nancy, we will miss you so, so much and you'll remain in our hearts and prayers for ever.

You kindness to me and my family as the family grew will always be cherished. You are now with John, may God Bless you both and you will be missed by all.
