Dear Nancie, always with class and style,
These words spoken by Jesus kept me holding on and in faith.Through all my darkest moments.I too have suffered deep pain, through loss.As we all do,what kept me going was the support I have had from others .Mostly my producer ,director ,and leading man. I only wish I had known you were suffering so much. And I would have pushed my way through your and Danette's door.As you know I love to do to all those I care about enough to annoy. I also had Bunnie's I loved too, and lost as you.
I was fortunate enough to learn that I was not at all wanting to die,"but in fact dying to live". This quote from my leading man I call Jesus. Kept me still with hope.His words were this." If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.and that you are not of this world"
Nancie you were always kind to me .I felt privelaged to be a part of your life.You always treated me with respect.And had some sort of a comment that would make me laugh.you know Nanc! I like you always think I can drive the big bus.that is ridiculous. We know I ride the small bus Nanc. And Just recent without a helmet.What I have been so blessed to learn is to stop trying to drive the big bus.I learned to give it up.And now that I have surrendered my right to be right.I am going through life with Faith ,Hope ,and Love now.And the greatest of these is love.I will never forget you Nanc ,and Danette you are greatly missed.I know you are both in peace now.
Luv and Kisses, your friends Judy,John,Sean, Blaine Spotswood, and Arnold. Peace

I will never forget Nancie. She was always happy and cheerful despite the pain she was is and she always looked great. She did not have much in material possessions but she still wanted to be generous to others in need and truly cared for other people and animals. Her love and endless devotion to her little friend and constant companion Tooey gave her the strength to overcome and endure a long battle with disablity and pain. In return he gave her unconditional love. Nancie is now in peace and glory and I pray her friends and family will soon be healed and comforted by the memories they share.

So Sorry to read about Nancie's death. I hope she was happy in her life. Will miss knowing she is in the world. I hope all the pain she had to endure is now gone from her memory. What a sweet, funny, honest woman.
