Your support at this time was very meaningful and helpful at a very difficult time for me. I have many fond memories of my mom but it is still very difficult to acknowledge her loss. I know as time passes on we will all remember the brightest moments of my mother's life and the sadness will be easier to endure.
My deepest appreciation,
Bryon Dailey

Dear Family,
I am a cousin of your father's (and yours too of course). I don't know if you knew my dad but he was Austin Adams.

My deepest condolences in your loss, I understand how hard it is to lose your family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Your mom was a wonderful woman and although I only met her a few times I enjoyed her and her sense of humor.

Love,
Holly Adams Carter

Nancy's sense of humor was something wild and extraordinary. She had the ability to light up our lives with each joke and fill our bellies with laughter. Nancy had a true insurmountable love for her family that extended far beyond her cherished blue ridge mountains and into the hearts of many. I wish you all the strength to smile in her memory rather than shed tears.
