To the Family of Nancy Dalum,
I wanted to express my sympathy for the loss of your family member. I met Nancy almost 50 years ago. I was going to FVTC and I needed a ride to Caroline, Nancy contacted me and she was my taxi on many occasions. We shared some meaningful visits. I will always remember her fondly.
