Dear Eric-I wanted to send you my condolences to you & your family on the passing of your mother.To give you a bit of context,my mother,Evelyn,was one of your mother's sisters,so Nancy is my Aunt.I never had the pleasure of meeting you.My family rarely visited the farm but maybe once a year during my youth.They are the best memories of my childhood.I wholeheartedly agree w/Mary what I was unable to put into words about your mother.One of my interests is finding the meanings of names & I looked up "Nancy".It is of Hebrew origin.Her name means grace;favor;gracious and she was all of those!She was/is so precious & the world will be much more empty w/out her,but Heaven much blessed.Your name is from the Norse origin meaning eternal ruler;ever powerful;sole ruler.You are carrying on the Baude name and legacy & I'm sure you will do well because of your parents.God bless you in this difficult time.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love-Sherri Pearl

Dear Eric and family,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, my Aunt Nancy. I remember growing up on the farm next door to her and always looking up to her.  She had the latest coolest hairstyle and clothes and jewelry to match.  My sisters and cousins were much younger so we always looked up to her.  
I remember when she started dating your dad, my Uncle Bob, and we thought it was so cool to keep asking when they were getting married and just being silly around them.  I remember when they went to the opera, she wore a beautiful rose colored gown and gloves, and her mom,(Grama Lukach ) kept a picture of the two of them up forever after that.
I remember when they moved to Arizona, and we were all sad.  However, they came back to visit a few times and brought you.  You were very young at the time and full of energy. They were soooo proud of their little boy and the three of you were the picture of a happy family.
 I  kept in touch with your mom and dad for quite awhile, but after children came along, I guess I got busy with life and we lost touch. Our cousin Mary kept me updated whenever she went to visit your mom.  My dad and mom (Don and Rita) also kept in touch by phone and I remember talking to your mom after your dad passed away. It was really good to talk to her.  She was so devoted to your dad and told me all about how she took care of him in their home.  
I will be thinking of you and your family and keeping you in my prayers.  
With deepest sympathy,
Your cousin, 
Debbie Myers

Aunt Nancy was a very special lady.  She was so beautiful and graceful. She will be truly missed. And now she is resting in the arms of her Savior. Until we meet again...forever!
Love-Sherri

Aunt Nancy was a faithful Catholic Christian who loved her husband and her son, Eric, and his wife and sons.  That was the core of her life. She had many nieces and nephews who remember her as a princess always wearing a beautiful smile.  She will be missed very much.  May she rest in God’s loving arms.
