Hello dear friend. I was happy to see this post today. Gave me an opportunity to think of you again. I have thought of you often over the years. Your picture was there at our 50 year class reunion. I´m sorry you had to go so soon. I will see you again one day

Nancy and I were the best of friends in high school. I'm so very sorry to hear of her passing. I saw her again at our 40 year class reunion. I'm so very proud of her success and that she did so much good with her life. I know she will be missed. Until we meet again dear friend.

Nan was a good friend to my sister Melissa who she met at Hastings. We lost Melissa in the earthquake of 1989 and I can only hope they are having a glass of wine together.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving God promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. (Isaiah 40:29, 41:10, 13) May loving memories also sustain your family during this difficult time. Ann Smith
