Gina and Dana I want to send you my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. I met your Mom several years ago ~ she was a very dear, gracious lady and I know she will be missed by many. I am Marci Beilstein's sister ~ my name is Jan Mason and I live in Florida. God bless you both.

After not seeing Nancy for over 40 years,my husband and I were blessed to visit with her at her home a few months ago. Although (even at that time) she was not feeling her best, she insisted that we stay with her instead of at a hotel. We stayed in her guest bedroom that more than equaled any of the finest that we had stayed in during our stays at many bed and breakfasts. We enjoyed a nice trip to New Hope. She was a very happy person. Although she was very sick, whe was still joyful and held fast to her faith. She was a great inspiration to both me and my husband. I will never forget the wonderful time we had that weekend. I know that she dearly missed Bill, and that both she and Bill are in a much happier place. In our discussions about widowhood, I hope I was able to ease some of her pain. (My first husband had passed away at age 53.) She sure did add joy to my life in our many, many phone conversations this past year. Nancy Davies

My deepest sympathy to the family. Nancy and I shared the same birthday date, she told me we will celebrate when we are in Heaven. She was a dear friend, so happy that God let me share a short time with her.
Blessing and prayers to all.
