Larry, Gus, Sam, and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. We are considering coming for the funeral, but they are also predicting a blizzard up here during the travel time we would need to get down there. Please accept our sincere sympathy and we will try to get there, but just in case we wanted you all to know that we will be thinking of you. Nancy was a wonderful person and Doug and I both have wonderful memories of her and all of you. So so sorry.
All our love,
Doug and Shirley Johnson

Larry and family - so very sorry for your loss. Nancy was a great mentor and friend at the Courage Center. She had a brilliant mind, courageous spirit, great sense of humor, friend to all - I could go on and on. Praying that God will comfort your hearts, uplift your spirits and soothe your sorrow. Nancy will be greatly missed.

So saddened by this news. There is not a childhood memory that does not involve both Nancy and Larry. She was a wonderful and loving person. Many hugs to you all, and most of all to the man that was always there for all of us.

Larry and Family,

There are so many wonderful memories I have of knowing Nancy as the head of our Psychology Department. I was always impressed at her willingness to help out. No task was beneath her. She had a great business sense with a fierce loyalty to her staff. Her sometimes quirky sense of humor would brighten up the room. When she left last December, there was a huge void in our department. It is not the same without her.

Larry and family, We are sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. We hope that good memories will help you through these tough times.
Nancy and Tim Nash
