What a beautiful picture of my Aunt Nancy. Her smile and giggle are so memorable! I enjoyed when we could visit in person and her Christmas letters. Her love for Jesus who loved her and just thinking of the joy she is experiencing right now are such a comfort. May all of us be sweetly comforted in the days ahead. With love, cousin Vicki (Geesaman) Steeves
