Nancy was such an inspiration to me in both my professional and my spiritual growth! She always saw the good in others and was such a caring friend.

My dear sweet sister you will be missed more than words can say. I loved you so much and know there is nothing that will ever make my life the same. I will always think of you as a kind, loving angel. San

Mollie and Megan, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was pure kindness and love. She always had a kind word and a smile for all. I knew Nancy as a colleague, and then as the talented, caring speech therapist for my son. She was so excited to retire and be able to spend time with "her girls". It made me smile to follow her on FB and see how happy she was being near the grandchildren. I grieve her passing. Know you are in my prayers.

We first met Nancy 43 years ago in Riverside, California and always enjoyed her spirit and care of others. She and her husband, Gerry, were a wonderful twosome and we love them both. Sad news, but glad people realize how she touched the, with love and compassion. Our prayers and love to Nancy's family.

Nancy was one of the most kind-hearted and generous people I've ever met. Her gentle spirit and huge capacity for love and service to others left an strong impact on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She has been sorely missed by us here in Pensacola these past 3 years - both professionally and personally. She was such a dear friend and I will miss her greatly. My heart and prayers go to her family, for I know their hearts are breaking too.
