Jennifer and Family,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Nancy Lou Edwards. Reading about her life, it is clear that she was a woman of uncommon warmth, deep compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family, community, and the creatures in her care. Her legacy of love - shown through her nurturing presence as a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, as well as her quiet acts of kindness toward animals and neighbors - speaks volumes about the depth of her character.
It´s touching to imagine her welcoming spirit during the holidays, with a home full of warmth, special meals, and thoughtful decorations - creating lasting memories for those lucky enough to be in her circle. She seemed to embody grace in action - someone who made people feel seen, supported, and loved.
Though her passing leaves a great absence, we hope the many memories of her love, generosity, and joyful presence provide comfort in the days ahead. May you find strength in one another and peace in knowing how deeply she was cherished.
With deepest sympathy,
Your teammates, co-workers, and friends at Cyclonaire.
