Ashley,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

I am so saddened by the loss of Nancy. We were just beginning to know each other better. I remember fondly those times when we were able to talk (at some family functions) and how we connected at the Y and shared some good time together. We were looking forward to finding something at Proctor's to go to when the last time we tried, the tickets were too expensive for both of us. We hoped to go this summer.
I was very fond of her and we seemed to "click." I know the good Lord knows best, however, I am going to miss her a lot. To you, the family, I am so sorry that you had to give up your loved one.
Love in Christ Jesus to all of you,
Suzanne Bishop

My deepest sympathies to The Waring Family. I enjoyed exercising with Nancy at the Y. She was always "a breath of fresh air." She will be sorely missed by all of us.

The Y hasn't seemed the same the last few weeks without Nancy. I remember her from 30 years ago when I started swimming. She swam thru her pregnancy with Jill and Jill grew up on the pool deck. We both suffered from arthritis in our hips and she showed me an exercise I do daily--I never do it without thinking of her. She will be greatly missed.
