Although I didn't know Nancy well, I will always remember that she called us all her "little Godlettes". She was an important part of my Al-Anon recovery, and I will miss her. Please know that my prayers are with you all.

Bryan, Jen, and Tracy,
Even though I've only met your mom a few times I knew she was a genuine, compassionate, and caring mother, grandmother and friend. She was easy to talk to and I feel you are lucky to have been able to call her "Mom". As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to your "regular life" she will always be there with you. She just needed a vacation from life and she will be waiting for you to join her in heaven.

Family of Nancy Jeanne Wiklund With Our Condolences Hoping it helps to know we deeply care. We Will miss our friend on the same side of this worlds struggle. I know Nancy is with GOD in his LOVING ARMS at PEACE. No more pain. I will remember so many memories of a friendship that is deeply cherished. Nancy's POEMS. especially the one she wrote about GODS GARDEN. Nancy wrapped an ironing board for our daughters (Amy) wedding shower! Our daughter thought that was so dear and loving and she loves still this ironing board :) she attended many of our family occasions. I knew Nancy for 20 years. I lost touch with Nancy when she became so busy working at Walmart. I understand a working schedule (even tho I have been retired for 6 years from LIGHT RAIL) I still understand working folks! a busy and tiring part of ones life. Nancy I called our college gal, and yes, she loved CHILDREN dearly also old VEHICLES. YOGA. BIKE RIDING. ALANON. her godlets. and I could write on and on about a very dear loving caring friend. Nancy she called me the Eskimo Dolores one of her godlets!
