My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Nancy, Peggy and I had many, many fun times and I am so sorry I lost touch with Nancy after we lost Peggy. I am so glad to have known her and she impacted my life with her life. What a dynamic woman she was and I will never forget her. She carried the meaning of friend to a new level. So very sorry for your loss.

Saddened to lose my beloved "Kroger Mama", my mentor, and my special friend of 40 years. Farewell Nancy, may you now rest in peace. You will be greatly missed, though I believe you are now in a better place.

The world has lost a wonderful person. Nancy provided our church with so much joy. I didn't know her that well, but it didn't matter; Nancy was a friend to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with her spirit and her family. I am so sorry for your loss, as well as ours.

You have my sympathy and prayers. Sam was a classmate of mine. I remember your family when I was a young boy, even delivered your newspaper, The Sunset News. I always remembered you as having a lot of laughter. May you find strength at this time in the wonderful memories you have made.

DEAR FAMILY OF NANCY,
I HAD ONLY KNOWN NANCY FOR, NOT QUITE TWO YEARS, WE BECAME FRIENDS IMMEDIATELY.
SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LADY WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL SPIRIT...SHE WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE!
SHE LET YOU KNOW WHERE SHE STOOD ON ANY ISSUE, AND WAS NOT AFRAID TO TELL YOU HOW SHE FELT ABOUT IT. SHE WAS A GREAT LEADER! I WILL REMEMBER HER FOR BEING THERE WHENEVER SHE WAS NEEDED.
HER LOVE FOR HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS WAS OUTSTANDING, TRUE AND ENDLESS.
I WILL MISS HER DEEPLY! HER SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME.
"REST WELL MY FRIEND, YOUR FIGHT IS OVER, YOU ARE NOW AT PEACE".
WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND GOD BLESSING TO ALL OF HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SHE IS SADLY MISSED.
