My sister Nancy Gaddis and I had a great time together as children. We played together and worked together around the house doing chores. We had a wonderful life in our school days and our tripes with mom and dad.
After school was over we ended up far apart, me in Texas and her in Virginia.
We spent as much time as we could with our trips to visit each other.
We had a great life together and loved to talk on the phone. All and all we had a great life that was full of love and respect
for each other and lasted for 88 years . I will always miss her but I'm sure we will meet again.

I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of your mother. Aunt Nancy was such a warm, generous soul, and her presence brought so much light to those around her. I know words can never fully capture the depth of your loss, but I wanted you to know that I'm holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.
She had a way of making everyone feel special—whether through her stories, her laughter, or simply her quiet wisdom. I’ll always cherish the memories I have of her, and I feel so lucky to have known her.
Please know that I’m here for you, and if there’s anything I can do to support you, don’t hesitate to reach out. Take comfort in the love surrounding you and the legacy she leaves behind.
With all my love and deepest sympathies,
Nancie Sue Gaddis
