Nola, I'm so sorry. Parents should never have to endure the loss of their child. Nancy was an angel walking amongst us and now she joins them in heaven.

October 8, 2012

Nola, it is a great honor to recount the service to mankind that Nancy selflessly gave to persons with limited or no sight through the Dallas Association for the Blind and the Lions. Her abilities may be hard to duplicate but her friends will carry on in her memory. Our Love and Prayers are with you, always.

Nola, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter. Nancy was one of the sweetest and kindest person, I have ever known! I cannot imagine how you feel with this big a loss; and like the rest of us, at your age, it makes it even worse!

Please let one of us at Dallas White Rock Liions know if there is anything we can do to make your loss easier.
