My sympathy is with Traci and her family, I never knew her mom, but I know Traci very well. Always remember the good times, time will heal the pain.

To Frank and Nancy's children and grandchildren I want to express my condolences in Nancy's passing. I am glad I did get to coorespond again with Nancy in recent months. I am so sorry she missed the reunion But at least I did get to visit with her and Frank in recent years. I not only have memeories of Nancy from when I was a small child but also as a teenager from visits to Miami as well as our rare visits as adults. I will always remember her fun spirit and hope that it is passed along to her children. With Love, cousin Ann

I am Nancy's oldest daughter Traci. I would like to say thank you to everybody that has extended their support during this very hard time in our lives. I am truly saddened by the loss of my mother and will miss her terribly. She was the solid foundation in our family, she was "mom". All of our hearts are broken but we will support each other and be ok in time. If anybody wishes to send their thoughts to my dad, Frank, please send to [email protected]. I am sure he would love to hear from anybody who has kind words to extend about my mother. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers and again thank you for all your support to our family. My email address is [email protected].
