It is difficult to believe that 8 years have passed since we shared our "farewells" to Nancy. At other times it feels as if Nancy is quite close with her radiant smile and positive attitude continuing to share God's Love and Peace within the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Blessings and hope to all who have known Nancy...

Keith & family,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Nancy. Even though I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Nancy, I did speak with her quite often on the phone. From those telephone calls, I could tell she was full of life & a fun person to be around. You spoke very highly of her Keith & you shared many great times together. Hopefully those memories can help you through the difficult times ahead.
Sorry I couldn't be there tonight to give my condolences but my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Take care.

God be with you all as you continue to travel the road of life without Nancy. She was a great person/friend as teenagers we laughed, cried, danced, played together, we had many sleepovers where we talked until dawn. Our paths went different ways as we became adults, looking at the pictures of you and your family I see she continued to live life to the fullest. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless

Dear family of Nancy, It was with sadness that I heard the news of the passing of Nancy. On my many visits to St. Anthony Daniel Parish she was always a joyful and enthusiastic hostess. We always felt a connection, since I baptized one of her children at St. Francis of Assisi. I will remember her in my prayers and Masses this weekend. She now shares in the eternal life that her Risen Lord promised her for her faithful and loving response to his love and his call. She will be missed by so many, an in particular by you, her dear family whose lives she shared in so deeply. God bless you!
