Dear family,
this photo of Nancy is just the way I remember her, always with a smile on her face and such gentle eyes.
We shared many beautiful times and rides together over the years. Especially in our 2 weeks biking trip to Denmark was an added bonus, really getting to know Nancy as such a beautiful and kind person.
Nancy will forever be in our hearts.
My heart goes out to her loving husband and family.
