To the family,
I just recently was informed of Nancy's death this week. Needless to say, I was shocked and deeply saddened by this news. Nancy and I worked together at Belks and she took my daughter and her grandaughter Jessica to McDonalds for lunch (at least 14 years ago) and to spend the day together.I had never tasted a wine cake and she made me one for my birthday.There was a certain way she would hold her reading glasses when we were working that only she could do. My prayers are with your entire family in this difficult hour.

To the family of Nancy Overcash:
I was very sad to learn of the death of Nancy. I had the wonderful privilege of working with her in a support group for persons with HIV and AIDS and family members. I was with her for three years. she brought a lot of joy and love into that experience and I learned that she was a woman who was passionate and loving to hurting people. She had a contagious spirit and laughter. I know there is a major void in your life and in the lives of people she touched along the way. You have my sympathy for the loss of such a dear soul.
