Terry and family,
Our hearts and sympathy go out to you. Nancy was a wonderful woman that loved her family dearly. She was so proud of each one of you. We are going to really miss her smile no matter how good or bad she felt. Nancy was a kind woman; I don't think she had a mean bone in her body. We are really going to miss her on the car tours and visiting with her.

Terry & family, my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Nancy was a special, unique lady and was so devoted to her family. May you all find comfort knowing she is not suffering any more, but is looking down smiling. I will miss the chats on the phone and running into her at the grocery store. We did not talk often; but the times we talked were lengthy and fun conversations.
Rest in peace Nancy - you will be missed.
