What an honor to be related to such a great lady, as was Nancy. What wonderful memories we will always cherish in our hearts. We greatly appreciated being included in the wonderful Thanksgivings at Nancy's. I video taped the last Thanksgiving at Nancy's - 1996. We watched it again this afternoon. Other great memories are when we went to Scotland and England in 1998, and the renunion in 2001. There is no price that you can place on such wonderful memories - they will be in my heart always!

Doris and Family....What a sweet and inspirational little lady Nancy was! I never saw her not smiling at church. She ALWAYS smiled and spoke....You can rest assured we will be with her again someday in eternal praise. May God be with you

I don't believe that I ever saw Nancy that she wasn't upbeat and in a good mood. She was a great lady. Our prayers and sympathy are with you guys. Love you, Don and Mary Ann

I first met Nancy in 1965 and she opened her home and her heart to me right from the first time we met. She was a wonderful,funny and kind lady. I will always remember that she wouldn't tell anyone her age or talk about her birthday. My and Larry's sons,Nathan and Robby Sparks have fond memories of her as well. I know she will be truly missed by all. Sincerely and with sympathy to a wonderful family,Linda Walker Merritt

Nancy was the most accepting, non-judgmental person I have ever known. No matter what the situation, she never had bad word to say about anyone. I have learned much from Nancy.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

May you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always, and strength in the companionship of those who share your loss.... I have learned never to underestimate the healing power we all have. It is always there to be used for the highest good. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you, and that, throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5
