With deepest sympathy to the family of our beloved Nancy. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother. I am sorry we did not hear the news until a month after her homegoing.

Nancy was a very loyal and dedicated employee when she worked for me in the Management Support Center of Fort Sam Houston as a Scanning Coordinator.

She was respected and loved by all who came in contact with her.

What is our life but a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14
Jesus prepared a place for Nancy, though she will be missed by those she left we are blessed to know she is with God.
