Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. My soul cries out Amazing Grace, that is what Mrs. Andrews showed to me, I can still hear her southern voice "Ida" what are you and Lillian up to. God has called Momma Nancy home but memories of her will last forever. Peace be with you my Andrews family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
I have many fond memories of Soror Nancy during my growing up years while living in Tampa. What a special role model and a woman of class. God bless each of you, is my prayer.
