Dear Buddy:
What can I say? God gave you a wonderful woman to be your wife. My memories of you and Nancy will always be special. Rich and I were always delighted when Nancy could join you during a TubaJazz Consort performance. We always enjoyed the time spent with you and Nancy. You were both a delight to be around and your love for one another always showed through.
Needless to say, Rich was grateful to have you playing third euphonium on the TubaJazz Consort. Rich had a great love and respect for you and wouldn't have wanted anyone else on that chair in the band. For Rich it was a sheer joy to be with you and to always perform with you. You and Nancy have helped to make many wonderful memories.
Buddy, we have know way of knowing, it may be years before you and Nancy see each other again. But for Nancy because she is in eternity it will only be seconds until you are together again.
I know how hard this is for you, so therefore I will continue to keep you and the family in my thoughts and prayers. 
May God bless you and be with you each and everyday.
With warm memories and love,
Mikki Matteson

The Baker Family,
It is so hard to lose someone that you love, especially a wife, mother, and grandmother.  We know there is now a very empty place in all of your hearts.  There are many fond memories of Nancy (and all of you) as we were neighbors for so many years. We remember her getting one of our puppies(Cookie), borrowing our car to drive Amy to the orthodontist to get her braces removed, and of course the weddings.   She was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and a such a beautiful smile. We feel so blessed to have known her.  Please accept our deepest sympathy.

We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Nancy.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Nancy Baker was a person of great strength, dignity, and compassion. She continues to inspire us all with her wonderful qualities and the way she lived her life.

Memory is a wonderful way of
Keeping loved ones near.
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear.
Dear Bud...
Our memories span a great number of years...back to the days of 109 Park Avenue thru the unforgettable times we had with both of you, Cille and your delightful family in Greeley, Colorado Springs, Estes Park  -  we will always cherish those fun times.
Nancy was so proud of all her children and what each had achieved.  She shared that same pride with her son-in-law and two daughters-in-law.And those precious little ones - Zadie Amy and Braxton - Amy Grace and Chris - Josie Rose and Cora Jane - How very much Nancy adored them....they are all so blessed.
To know Nancy was to love Nancy.  She was a beautiful human being on the ""inside and the outside.""  She brought sunshine, love and joy into every life she touched in this crazy mixed-up world.
We will miss her zest for life, her laughter and wit and her unfailing faith.....she was, indeed....
      THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!

Please know how sad I was when I received the e-mail about Nancy...Nancy and I were ""room-mates
and bus"" partners for our 50th AHS
Reunion to Branson, Mo. October 2003. Our reunion was so much fun,
and she will be missed by many...
family and friends...my prayers for
Bud and the children plus grandchildren, are to know that God
loves you and will comfort you in the days and weeks ahead.

Bud & Family,
Jo Ann and I have been away from home for a couple of weeks and were saddened to learn of Nancy's passing. We have thought of her many times lately and tried to phone her in late January.  I will always remember Nancy as my beautiful cousin who always had a big smile! We know she will leave a huge void in all of your lives.
      Love, John & Jo Ann

Dear Uncle Bud, Dee, Amy, Chris & Families, 
Our prayers are with you. I have always loved having Aunt Nancy for an aunt. She treated me so kindly as a child and was so nice to our children. I will miss communicating with her at Christmas and other special occasions. I am missing her already and will never forget her. Love to all and call or email anytime.

On behalf of the Brass Department of Indiana University, we extend our sincere sympathies to Buddy and the Baker family on the loss of your wife and mother.  Through Buddy's exceptional musical offerings and great spirit, we feel close to the Baker family and are deeply touched by Nancy's departure.  Please accept our condolences and concern.

To the Baker family.  We send you our support and prayers at this most difficult time.  We never got to meet Nancy but our son and daughter-     in-law constantly told us of Nancy's genuine, terrific nature. Buddy, our continuing prayers are with you and your wonderful family.  Much love.

Bud and family: I was so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing.
Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of living around the corner from the McCaslins in Alexandria.
Nancy and Jim would dress me up and take me out with them on Halloween. Was glad to get to see Lucille when she was in Pendleton, but so sorry I missed Nancy when she came to fly home with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

While deeply saddened by her passing, my spirit is lifted by the memory of Aunt Nancy's vibrant personality and contagious laugh.

To all of my very special cousins and Uncle Bud just know our thoughts are with all of you, especially now.  Aunt Nancy was a beautiful person in so many ways. I will always remember her warm smile and laughter.  We are all better off to have had her in our lives and now our memories.

Dear Buddy and Family,
We will remember Nancy's radiant smile and cheery personality. She was an impressive lady with a terrific sense of humor.  On our last visit to Greeley, we remember with fondness how proud she was of her children and grandchildren.  Our thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Deb and GW Scott

To Buddy and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies at this time of great change in your lives.  Nancy gave so much of herself to all of us in Buddy's extended family in the musical world.  She will continue to serve as a role model for all us, living life as she did, with great grace, beauty and dignity.

We had the pleasure of getting to know Nancy Baker as mother of our dear friend Dee. We were fortunate enough to spend a weekend in their home some years ago where Nancy was the hostess with the  mostess, I will never forget it.  We always appreciated getting to see Nancy when the Bakers would come and visit LA, she lit up the room with her radiant energy and smile up to the very last time we saw her, a beautiful woman and fighter to the end.  We will miss her very much. Rest in Peace Nancy.

Dear Buddy,
We were very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife Nancy.  The few times we were with her she was always so friendly and genuinely seemed interested in what we were talking about.  She had a radiant smile.  
Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.

To Bud, Amy, Chris and Dee, I thank you for sharing your Mother. Nancy was a great inspiration for me on many levels. I will miss her laughter and her approach to life. I am including Mark, my Husband, my Mother, Loretta Collins, and my Brothers, Stan and Steve Collins in wishing all of you our heartfelt sympathy. My wish for all of you is that there will be a day not too far in the future where you will wake up and feel the simple joy of seeing blue skies, flowers and the green grass, and realize you are going to be okay, and that the while you are still extremely sad, that your memories of Your Wife and Mother make you smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love from all of our family.

I knew Nancy through the Pi Beta Phi alumnae club in Greeley.  Also we both participated in the ""Big Band"" exercise group at Work Out West.  I agree with Buddy that ""because Nancy was here, the world is a better place"".  I truly believe she was the prettiest and sweetest person I ever knew.I will always remember, and miss, her beautiful smile.

To Amy and all the family,
   Your mom was such a beautiful and sweet person.  I remember her laugh, and how much I enjoyed spending time at your house when I was a kid. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Nancy was a dear and true friend to us. We will always remember her laugh and smiling face. Our love and prayers to you Bud and family.

Dear Baker Family,
I remember you all from my days at University High and in the Cottonwood neighborhood; your mom was always so very kind to me and my family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time, and always.  With much love,

I, as well as our group of friends enjoyed good times in growing up.  I know Nancy will be missed but good memories of her will last and keep her alive.  My thoughts and prayers will be with Buddy (as he also grew up in Alexandria) and the family.  Take one day at a time

Sorry for your loss. I know Nancy will be greatly missed.

We will always remember Nancy with love because she was the best sister-in-law I could ever have had.  She was a wonderful person and friend and we will miss her terribly.  Our time in Florida with her was so special to us, now - even more so.  She was so brave and we will have nothing but happy memories  of our times together. Our hearts go out to each of you but know that we love you all.

Dick graduated with Nancy in the Alexandria Class of 1953.  We both enjoyed being with her during their 50th High School Class Reunion Trip to Branson, MO.  She was a beautiful person!

Buddy,  We are all thinking of you at UNC.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Baker family.Knowing Nancy was a breathe of fresh air. We were PiPhi sisters and had many moments of laughter and sharing together. I knew she was struggling with her illness, but did not know that it was so far along. I respect her privacy and will smile every time I remember her.I remember such happy twinkling eyes. Fondly, Connee Mcallister

To Buddy and his family, You are all in our thoughts and prayers.  Nancy was indeed a special lady who we feel privileged to have known.
