I cherish the joyous times I spent with Nancy. I recall her beautiful smile, her laughter, her loving spirit, her singing and her joy to be Heather's and Christopher's mother and Terry's wife. We enjoyed shopping together on our limited budgets, always looking for bargains and having such great fun doing it. She was a wonderful friend,very special in that with both of us being ministers' wives, we found a kinship and friendship outside our own congregations which was a precious gift and blessing to me. Having daughters who were close friends blessed us even more. Truly her sweet spirit lives through each of you. With love, Jan Tripp

Danny and I are so very sorry for your loss. Nancy was one of the most faithful ladies I have ever known. She was always a pleasure to be around. Even though we know that she is with the Lord for eternity, she will be missed by so many people whose lives she touched with her laughter, kindness and caring heart. Knowing her has been a true blessing to many lives, including mine. We pray that you will find God's comfort and peace as you say goodbye to her.
