I´m so sad to hear that Nancy has passed away. My husband and I sat close to her and Bob at St. Joseph church which is how we got to know them. She was so beautiful and her smile was contagious! Always friendly, and caring. She will be terribly missed and I wish I could have known her for a longer amount of time! Take care, Bob!
Sincerely,
Greg and Cathie Jones

My heartfelt thoughts are with Bob, boys, grandchildren & family. Nancy´s smile & kindness lit up wherever she was. I so appreciated Bob bringing Nancy to see me during a rare visit from California. A beautiful, talented, kind, gifted person that gave a lot of herself on many levels. I was honored to be her High School friend. Elaine Woodman Brady

I know my brother, LL Cotter, thought a great deal of Nancy & Bob. He mentioned them often when he visited Wichita and what good friends they were. I think Nancy & LL were classmates at North.
I was a classmate of her brother , Louie, and very much appreciate his military service in Viet Nam.
LL passed away in 2020 but I'm sure he would have wanted to express his fond memories of their friendship and respect for the family.
Sincere Condolences.
Tim

I´m so sorry to hear about Nancy. I´ve known Nancy since jr high at Roosevelt. Bob and Nancy and my husband, Harlan, and I were married young and had our kids young. We shared some good times together. Nancy was always fun and I always enjoyed being with her. I know she will be missed by many.
