Dr Nancy Hughes was a great doctor that helped so many people with her knowledge and skills. She was a wonderful asset to the Galveston community. She opened her own office after IKE and that is where I really got to appreciate her even more. She cared for my family in a caring and compassionate manner. I sure enjoyed knowing and working with her and wish all happy memories at this time.

So very sorry to hear about Nancy. I have wonderful memories of playing quartet at Mike and Nancy´s home while I was a medical student and think so often of those times. It is impossible to reconcile the random nature of events and pray for Mike and his family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes since I moved here five years ago. She was a wonderful doctor who was never in a hurry when you had an appointment with her. She even called me at home once with some test results after hours. Who has time to do that? She will always be missed but she leaves her legacy of being such a fine doctor and person. My sincere condolences to her family. May the wonderful memories always keep her close to you all.

My heart is broken. What an amazing woman and physician she was. First she was a nurse and then became a physician following in her father´s footsteps. She was the epitome of what a medical doctor should be. I am humbled and proud to have known such an amazing, caring, physician, wife and mother. God please take her into your arms, so that she may look down upon us and watch over us for eternity.

To say that Dr. Hughes was a rock would never be enough, she was my doctor for 25 years and helped me through so much not only illness. Her kindness and gentle spirit will live on in those who Kew and loved her. The world has sent another angel to heaven.

I called on Dr. Hughes for many years as a pharmaceutical representative. She was the kindest, most caring physician on whom I've ever called. Dr. Hughes always wanted to learn more, so that she could be the most well-informed advocate for her patients. I last saw her on Wednesday and was her usual cheerful self. Not only will I miss her, there will be a void in the community of all of the people who were blessed by her kindness and caring.
I miss you Dr. Hughes! You will be met with open arms in heaven and will keep spreading your genuine love to every one you meet, there.
May you rest in peace and love.
Sincerely,
Dean Ballard
