Nancy was a beloved niece and cousin to the Birdsong family. She was the flower girl at my mom and dad's wedding (Shirley and Bob). We played together growing up in McCook, NE or in Golden, CO while our parents visited. Shared many holidays together.
Too soon Nancy, you are missed by many. We love you.
Lark and all the Birdsong's

Nancy was a much loved cousin - we enjoyed family vacations together in northern MN, long telephone conversations and time spent researching family trees. I knew she was amazing when we stopped in McCook once and she had every Nancy Drew book written (at the time) and she generously allowed me to read every one. She is missed.
