A dear woman and loyal friend, I will miss Nancy for the rest of my days. She loved my father and me as well. I spoke with Darrell Jerdan recently and he told me of her passing that I was so sad to hear. I'm glad to have spoken with her earlier in the Spring, and wish her rest and comfort, and pass to you, Scott and Pam and the rest of the family, my loving support. She is a rare gem.

Scott & Pam:

I will never forget the smile and laugh of your Mom she was always so friendly and a great friend to my parents. My mother will be so sad to hear that she has passed away. I know she is in a better place where there will be no pain or suffering. My prayers are with you both as well as your family.

God Bless,

Scott,

I'm just sitting down at the end of the day and read the news about Nancy. I am so sorry. I lost my Mother in 1993 and I know how difficult it can be. I will be sure and include her and you in my prayers tonight. May God give you comfort in your sorrow.
