I've known Nancy and Fred and they family since 1980. The world couldn't know a finer family . They took my family in when we were transferd to Tulsa and made us part of their family . My heart is broken and I wish nothing but the best for Mitch and Beth and their family . She was the most gracious person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
May she rest in peace and may god bless her. She is reunited with Fred once again.
