Nancy, you will be very much missed by all your family and friends. You were the light of every family gathering that we attended. You cared for others so much and I will always remember that. You were a blessing to all you came in contact with. Your love and memory will carry on in everyone's heart.
I thank you for being in Ben and I's life.
Sad to hear of your loss. Nancy was a friend to everyone that she met. I don’t believe that she ever met a stranger. May God’s loving comfort that He has promised be special to family and friends during this difficult time. Cherish your wonderful memories. Nancy will be missed but never forgotten. ❤️💜❤️💜
I loved my very first Work Mom dearly. She was one of a kind. Continued prayers for her family and friends.
Penny: My deepest sympathies to you and your brothers. She was a truly gracious lady. Although, I have not seen her in many years, I still remember how sweet so always was, even to me as a little kid. God bless. Steve Prescott
