August 6 is your birthday and I would like to light a candle in your memory.
You would have been 52 yrs young.  Miss
you very much.

Sue

I think of Nancy every day, but especially today she is in my thoughts.  I remember her infectious smile, bubbly spirit, and her abundant, unconditional love for her children.  Miss and love you.

Nancy was my sister, very caring, loving, vivatious, and most of all her selfless generousity that defined her.  I will miss her
terribly, but knowing that she is happy in heavan with mom & dad gives me peace.  She was so personable eveybody loved her, had a great gift for gab.  Always in a cheerful mood, witty,and would make you smile.  God only takes
the best.

She was such a courageous woman with so much
dignity, I can only hope I inherited a fraction
of her beauty.

I think of her everyday,and can't help think that God made another angel named Nancy.

Family meant so much to Nancy, We are here for
you Alexi & Cody, but you must be there for eachother, because you will need eachother in the many years to come.  It saddens me to think that you two are already on your own at such a young age, but that only made you stronger. Your mother is watching and guiding you as your own personl angel, and with that I think you two will be successful in whatever you do.  Make her proud.

I love you Nancy
Your Sister Sue

To the Pelzer Family our thoughts are with you and Nancy's children. My husband and I went to school with Nancy at Cleveland and Johnson.  I marched with her as a Johnsonette. She was a lovely person and always had good things to say about others. She will be missed.(Class of 77) Robin Garcia-Hrbek,Fred Hrbek, and family.

Cody, Lexi, Sue, Carol, the entire Pelzer and Asmus families; the passing of Nancy is heartbreaking and truly a tremendous loss of a wonderful and kind woman. Oh, how she loved her kids! Having the 2 of you was what gave her life purpose and meaning. She always wanted the best for her family. Now it's up to you to honor and carry her legacy on in your lives. Continue making her proud, knowing she's always nearby. Make good choices, keep working hard, fall in love, marry and start a family. Family is what she cherished most, so spend time with one another, and with your Aunts, Uncles, cousins. This is what your Mom, your sister would want most for all of you; to continue being a loving family. Losing Nancy is a tragedy, but she will live on in our memories which will be with us always. Memories will  bring strength and help lessen your pain and grief. It's not what any of us would've chosen for her, but it's the life she was to bear. All that Nancy was, is once again, goodness bestowed upon us. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. 
Sincerest condolences, 
Kathy (Whelan) Tucci

Dear Cody, Lexi & Jeremy:

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom, Nance.

We're so sorry that you have to experience such a devastating loss.

May you be comforted by  all your happy memories.

Love & Prayers,

 Ray & Betty Joan Asmus

I am so sorry about the loss of your Mom and sister, and so sorry that I could not attend her visitation.
I loved Nancys smile and laugh and most of all her fiestiness.
She worked for me for a few years at Hair Hideaway and I never forgot her. She was a great hairdresser and her clients all loved her as well.
She is now in Gods hands and at Peace. May God be with you at this time, and only that "time' will ease your pain.
Barb Lishman

Nancy may you be at peace, may your family find comfort in loving memories, may the love, and the special attention you gave to others, warm all our hearts.
Bless you, hugs to all

Cody and Lexi, My heart aches for you during this time.  I’m at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you.  I never got the chance to know your mom as well as I would have liked, but I feel blessed to have known her for the time I did.  Her love and pride for her children was always present. You both are a reflection of your mom in so many ways, through your spirit, wit, charm, and infectious personalities.  I cannot express how sad I am that I can’t be with you both during the next few days and weeks.  Please know I am standing by your side in my prayers every day and night.  Your mom touched so many people’s lives and will be truly missed.  I love you.

Cody and Lexi, It's with heartfelt sorrow that we can't be there with you in this time of grieving and for your mom's memorial.  Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, please know that you are in our every thought and in our prayers.  Cody...I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your mom, but the few times I saw you with her I could clearly see how deeply you loved her. The love a mother has for her children goes beyond the here and now. Carry that love in your heart and let it be your strength in this difficult time.

Cody & Lexi your Mom was dedicated to you . Live your life as if she were with you, because I am sure she is.

I have such great memories growing up with Nancy from the St. Pat's days and on to high school and catching up through the years when I needed a hair cut.  St. Pat's basketball, hanging out at Arlington playground, trips to Milwaukee Summerfest, The Bucks & Vogels, Tammy's wedding - so many fun times.  She is being taken from us much too soon but now she is with her mom and dad.  Rest in peace Nancy - you'll never be forgotten

 
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. 
Nancy will be sorely missed.  Heaven is so lucky to have such a beautiful soul.

Nancy was one in a million. I was blessed to have her in my life when we met at Cleveland Jr. High.  I was rather new to the area and she reached out to me in her very warm and caring way, as she did to all. It has been 30 years since I have seen Nancy and I still can see her smiling beautiful face and hear her wonderful unique laugh.  Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed greatly by many but, never forgotten.  Sincere Condolences,

I remember Nancy's beautiful smile and effervescent personality - she always made us younger girls feel so special!   Heaven just gained a most wonderful angel! My thoughts & prayers are with Nancy's family and friends.

Carol and Sue and Nancy's family.
It just is not fair.  Life is too short as it is and to be taken at 51 is certainly unthinkable.  You guys are in are thoughts and prayers.
She is now at home with her mom and dad.
Judith and Doug Mitchell

Dear Jeremy, Cody, Lexi and the Pelzer family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of Nancy.

We have fond memories of Nancy when we were neighbors in C.G. in the 1980s and remember bartering haircuts for baby sitting.    

We never saw Nancy without a smile on her face.

 Included are a  couple of photos.

Again, our condolences, The Conway family.

To all of Nancy's family -
Nancy used to do my hair and became a good friend.  I have many wonderful memories of fun times with her.  She lit up a room.  She will be missed.  I pray that you will all find comfort in your memories.  Her light still shines on.  
God Bless.

Dear Lexi and Cody, I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.  My most fondest memory was when I would come over and babysit both of you and Jeremy for the weekend.  By Sunday, Nancy would either make a fantastic breakfast or we would all go out for breakfast. I always enjoyed those weekends.  Please know that you can lean on your family and friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.
Much love,
Kristen, Adam, Dylan and April

To all of Nancy's family.

Love, 
Karlee, Bob, Blake and Jordan

It is a hard time for her loved ones, but a glorious time for her.  You have to go on without her, but she is in the arms of Our Lord.  I also remember Nancy from St Pat's grade school.  She was such fun to have as a friend.

I am very saddened to hear about the passing of Nancy.  I graduated from Johnson High School with her.  She was truly "one of the good ones!"  May the Family find comfort in the special times they shared with her and keep her memory alive within their hearts.  God Bless.

My sympathy and prayers to Nancy's family.  A huge thank you to all who have helped in the past difficult years.  Nancy's dad always said you can never have enough friends.  I understand now.  I will miss my friend dearly.

I was in shock when i saw that Nancy had passed.  We were classmates at St. Patrick's.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Pelzer family.

Pelzer Family,
