Dearest Lori & Jim, We are so saddened to hear about Nancy. It's been a long time since we have seen you but you cross our minds.I can only imagine the pain, but we can all be sure that Jehovah never puts on us more than we can bare. Isa 41:10,13 is such a comfort I read it often. All of us at the South Aiken Congregation of Jehovahs Witnesses send our love.
Your friends,
Mike & Maxine Christy

Dear Bergen & Hubbard Families,
I want to say I'm so sorry about your loss. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I only knew Nancy for a short time, but I loved her as my sister when we met. The girl didn't know a stranger. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Dear Geoffrey and Family,
We were so very sorry to hear of the loss of your wife and loved one. We pray for you and your family during this challenging time. We can only (weakly) imagine some of the depth of the loss and pain this brings--having lost one close family member and another relative in similar fashion in the past year. Again, our thoughts and prayers go out to you. With sympathy and love,

Dear Bergen & Hubbard Families,
it's so hard to fathom that nancy's spark has gone out... it was 25 years ago that i was privileged to meet her at pioneer school. right away i was attracted to her vibrant laughter and warm smile! it's knowing that we serve the only true god, jehovah, that soothes our pain. although the sadness feels intense right now, how we long for the day that jehovah wakes her up to a perfect life in perfect conditions! keeping you all close in my heart and prayers!

Jim, Lori, Jimmy, Kathy, and Geoff,
I was very saddened with the news of Nancy's falling asleep in death. May your broken hearts find strength in Jehovah. When death's finger touches a family like it has touched yours, Jehovah allows a family to draw closer to Him. May that happen in your case. Jim and Lori, no parent should out live their children. but when it happens, remember Jehovah experienced the same grief and pain when He lost His Son. He knows your pain intimately. He wants, or as Job said, He "yearns" to reunite your little girl with you and He "wants" to bring her back to you. Is. 26:19 speaks of those sleeping or "impotent in death" awaking and crying out joyfully. I pray that your wait is short. Jimmy, I remember how close you and Nancy were when we were young. I can't know the pain of losing a cherished sister, but it must be intense and seemingly unbearable. I am sorry for you and Kathy and you will be in my prayers. Geoff, when the scriptures talk of the two becoming one flesh- what a beautiful arrangement. Wait on Jehovah to heal the pain you feel now. He has the power to help you cope with the hurt until He brings your beautiful wife back to you. May Jehovah's comfort and peace marinate your souls.
With love and concern,
Bob Erardi and family,

Dear Geoff and Lori and Jim,
My heart breaks for you. And I am sorry I am so far away and not able to give you a hug. The quality I appreciate the most about Nancy is her sincere love for people. She truly cared about their lives and their feelings and people sensed her sincerity. Even people she only knew for a short time feel deeply effected by her passing.
All our love

Nancy worked with us (at CAL Business Solutions) for a relatively short period of time, but has touched each one of us in a profound way. Such a beautiful, joyful and giving person. We have missed her smile and enthusiasm this past year. Our heartfelt sympathy to Nancy's husband, family and friends. May we all find a way to bring her light to the world, each day!

My dear friends Lori & Jim,
Words cannot even express the pain in my heart in the loss of our dear sweetheart of the Southington Congregation,your beloved daughter, Nancy.
With pain in my heart and tears in my eyes as I write this - please accept my sympathy and deep regrets of this tragedy in your lives. It is the ultimate test that a parent has to face.
I pray that Jehovah may give you the strength to endure; and may the hope from the Bible give you the comfort that you will be together with Nancy under God's Kingdom.
Nancy was faithful to the end. Let us take to heart this fine example so we can remain in the book of life, or if be, in God's memory.
Your loving sister in the faith,
Lois Nicholas

It seems like yesterday that we worked together. The world will not be the same without you, but at least you are with our Savior and without pain. My deepest sympathies to Nancy's family at this very difficult time.
