It has been eight months since my Mom has been gone; I miss our personal talks and how she always was there to reassure me that I was doing the right thing. I miss her laugh, her genuine personality of caring and love. Although I know she is in a better place I will never stop missing her. I love you mom.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I worked with Nancy for the past 26 years. She was such a loving person and a pleasure to work with. I will miss her so much. I will always remember her laugh and the fun we had on our various seminars we attended. She was one in a million. God Bless her family.

I've known Nancy for many years, both as a coworker and as a friend. I can't begin to tell you how much I will miss her. Always the lady, Nancy had a bit of the devil in her and would surprise us often. We could laugh all day, then go home and remember her antics and start laughing again.Nancy had an outstanding work ethic, working right up to her last surgery a month ago. She would be an inspiration to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. I loved her like a sister and will always have a place in my heart for her. I know her faith carried her through this ordeal and God is very lucky to have her. I can still hear her laugh, and will cherish it always.

Nancy was one of the strongest people I know. She showed great courage & grace while dealing with her illness & taught me a lot. I have worked with Nancy for the past 24 years & her passing leaves a hugh void in my life & our office, one that can't be filled. My heart goes out to Bob & her whole family.

All the memories I have of Nancy are ones of kindness. She was genuine, and in that there was a pureness that could overtake you. Her laughter was infectious and the love she could show to any person was an inspiration to me. I feel very blessed to have known her.

I knew Nancy because my mother-in-law Peggie worked with her. She was always friendly and kind. She had a great sense of humor. I also know her daughter Karen through Concordia. May the Lord bless and comfort Nancy's family and friends during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember Nancy and her wonderful sense of humor and laughter. She was a person you instantly liked and she had such a love of life that brought joy each time you were around her.
