Dear Don and Family,
Pat and I were so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. After seeing her in Uniontown, Pa. in August at Aunt Grace's funeral and looking so well, we were shocked.
Our thoughts are with all of you through this very difficult period.

Dear Don and Family:

I was absolutely devasted Friday evening when Fred called me regarding the passing of my cousin, Nancy. She was absolutely a wonderful relative, and I will never forget the great times we had growing up and getting together with our relatives. Eventhough, we gathered for Aunt Grace's memorial service in Uniontown, I loved seeing both Don and Nancy last August.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with your entire family, and may Nancy find peace in the heavens above.

Love,
Judy Risdon

Don, we wish to send our condolences to you and your family.
This came as a shock since we remember Nancy as a healthy entergetic person. We enjoyed her company during the many Lion's events where spouses were invited.
She will be sadly missed.

Dearest Don and Family, I can just barely think of what you are going through after I just went through the same thing the week before. I absolutely know how difficult this is and if you need any support or just someone to talk to please give me a call. I surely hope your kids live near by to help you, mine all live out of state and that really is hard. Call if you just want someone who also has a heavy heart. Many blessing to all of you and you surely are on my mind. Susan Gorby
