When I was 14, Nancy was my best friend. We spent a lot of time racing around the Wrensch house, playing hide and seek with her brother Harold. Both of us were in Luther League and were confirmed together. We lost touch after she married my Uncle Donnie, but we did see one another now and then over the years.
I am sorry that I am not able to wish her a personal farewell at this time, but my thoughts will be with her family on March 3.
