My thoughts are with each of you. Nancy was my best buddy growing up. We were together every waking hour..either my house, her house or at Grandma's. Played softball together. She will be greatly missed.. She was a super friend and I will always remember the great times we had.

With our deepest sympathy to Al, Corey, Kelly and Family. She was a beautiful person that lived across the street from my folks years ago. She brings wonderful memories and laughter to all of us. The water fights with my dad. Eating ice cream behind her mom's bushes at her mom's house with my sister Vickie and trying not to get caught. We'll will never forget her and her love. Miss you dearly...
Love from Arlene Moore, Vickie & Dick Siebels, and Myron, Kay & Jessica White
