Larry, Gayle, Johnny, Frieda, Dwayne David & Carla. I'm so sorry that I missed this date! I just found out today that MY FRIEND has left us. Had I known, I would have been there to support you all in this time of comfort. She was a great woman, good to me in many times of need; a "friend to me indeed." All of you know that I loved her very much. Everytime I saw her, we would remember the good times, especially when we first met at Herndon High School where she and Mac were the best custodians ever! I know that God is too wise to make a mistake and earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. May God keep each and every one of you and your children. Gayle, Carla, please send me an email so that I can get in touch with you. Your Mom will be missed by many.

Nancy was one of the most uplifting women I ever knew - she could always bring a smile to my face. I will miss her so much, but I know she is in very good Hands now. I hope that knowledge brings her family peace, as it does me.
