We are cousins and knew each other well. We did not see each other very often, but, when we did it was like we never were apart. She will be missed. Some of our cousin trips together were very memorable. In Branson we met many Elvis's and danced. At Dead Lake we were the mermaids on the water. I miss here just thinking about our good times. She will always be in my hart! Fran Hart Sorensen

Nancy was my friend for many years. We met by riding our Harley Davidson motorcycles. Her bike was pink, most appropriate for her. We had a love for animals and enjoyment of nature. We had fun going out in the forest in the White Mountains in our Polaris. She was also a bunco babe and will be greatly missed. She was a gentle and loving person. I know she has been met in heaven by our mutual friend, Sandy, and having a great time. Until we meet again, have fun and don´t get into too much trouble up there! Pat Durako
