I have so many emotions right now! I am so blessed to have spoken to her and Ron recently, and to have heard her joyous laugh one last time. And I have so many happy memories of Nancy, but I think there are two special memories I will always have with me… her beautiful smile and how much I loved hearing her say, “God love ‘em”. And I know, without a doubt that He is telling her right now how much He loves her! Heaven is a blessed to receive her home. I send all my love to Ron and her family.

Ron, Debbie, Patty and Michele:
You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Your wife, your mother and our Nancy was such a loving, kind and beautiful person. She was always so willing and so ready to reach out to help, assist and support her family and friends. We so fondly recall how our families grew up together on Chateau Drive. Nancy always made certain that fun and enjoyment was available for everyone. Nancy will remain with us forever. God bless you and please take care. And Ron, you will be able to treasure those 63 years of love that you shared with that wonderful lady!

Prayers for peace and comfort to Ron, Michele, Patty, Debbie and your families. I’m so very sorry and know this is so very hard. Hold tight to those everyday special memories of Nancy which will eternally be in your hearts. Your mom was a very special and caring woman who loved her family deeply. She was a true life long friend to our Mom, Shirley Adams, and always was so sweet to us girls. I know Nancy & Mom are enjoying a cocktail, listening to great music, nibbling on sweets and of course looking down from heaven over their loved ones. I’m sorry we cannot attend the service but know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. ? The Francis Family
