Nanna was always a go getter, she always had a smile on her face, she´d always tell us we were never too old to go over her knee lol. Her and Pop Pop have done so much for everyone always loving always there to ask how your day was or what plans you had. I still remember back when I was in school she´d call and say you have a good day at school, do you have any homework and did you do your homework and when she´d know like always I didn´t she say you best start doing it and don´t make nanna come down there, she is and will forever be loved and will forever be in our hearts. Not a day will go by when she isn´t on my mind her voice clear as day blessing the lord and wishing blessing on others, the joy on her face of people stopping by to see her and pop pop.

Nancy had endured a lot in the past several years and Bob was right there beside her. I´m sure going to miss you, my neighbor, my friend. My heart goes out to all of her family and friends ! To know her was to love her. Fly high! Your love of Jesus and all that you´ve done for others will be how I remember you. Miss you always.
