I remember when you and Aunt Vada flew out to California to see grandma and to spend a week with us in Escalon, CA. May you RIP in the arms of Jesus!

Nancy was a light to soooo many! She was a very great friend and would help anyone she met. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and her faithfulness to those she knew. Thinking of you, Dana, and the rest of the family at this time.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. A word of comfort: God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during difficult times. Psalms 91:2. May you find the needed strength from God's word, family and friends.

Mrs. Nancy was always such a blessing! She always gave me great hugs and was so generous with her talents and food. I am so happy to know she is with Jesus and has her ultimate reward! I am praying for the family during this time, but know God is so good and has so many promises and rewards for his children! Nancy always wanted people to know how much she loved Jesus and wished that everyone would experience His peace that passes all understanding.
