We have known Nancy now for over 25 years. She was a kind and wonderful person who always made you feel welcomed. Through all of those years and the many cookouts and nights we spent in her company, we can say that she always brought a smile to everyone's face. She would do anything for her family and doing do so is what made her happy. She was a friend who will be greatly missed but at this time, we should celebrate her life because that is what Nancy would have wanted us to do! Love you
