Still remembering you sweet Nancy.  Lynn, I have had you in my thoughts and prayers, but especially yesterday on the 11th.   Take care.  Love ya!
Kathy

Aunt Nancy was like a mom to me. I love her so much and think about her every day. 
I remember the story that grandma and Aunt Nancy always told everyone.
When I was about 2 years old grandma  took me to the softball game to watch Aunt Nancy play. This one particular time I ran out on the softball field with my pink dress on to see my Aunt Nancy. You can imagine the umpire stopped the game so my Aunt Nancy could pick me up and take me back to grandma. Listening to them tell that story I know that meant a lot to Aunt Nancy. My Aunt Nancy loved me as much as I loved her. She would always tell me I was the daughter she never had. I felt like her daughter. I enjoyed the talks me and Aunt Nancy had. I would call her on my way home from work everyday to see how she was doing. I miss those calls. Aunt Nancy's death has been hard on me. I loved and still love her a lot. Lynn thank you for everything you did for my Aunt Nancy. Lynn was my Aunt Nancy's rock, she was always there for my Aunt Nancy. Aunt Lynn I love you and appreciate everything you did for Aunt Nancy. Now we have to be there for each other.



Sorry for your loss, Lynn. I hope you remember me, I played softball against Nancy years ago. She was one of the best catchers in slow pitch softball.  I just loss one of my best friends, Rene Bowles, and I know that Nancy, Rene and Kay Yow and others are in Heaven playing that game that they loved so well.  My prayers are with you and your family. Just remember that our loss is Heaven gain.

Lynn, 
Our dear friend Nancy was one special person. We have so many memories of times shared with Nancy. We’ll always remember her for her laughter, sense of humor and being Nancy such a good person that we all adored and loved. 

Much love to you Lynn,
Wayne and Helen Knight

Thanks for the info Lynn.   I loved the back and forth Nancy and I always had.   I’ll tell you she was as passionate of a Duke fan as you will ever run across.   Not just a fan but she knew what she was talking about….  You could sure tell she not only loved them but she was so knowledgeable..   Every year during basketball season I would think about her.   I know you will miss her.   She was one of a kind…

Lynn:

My thoughts and prayers are lifted for you and Nancy’s family during this difficult time.  Nancy was a great person and I know she enjoyed her retirement.  I am sorry she suffered with her illnesses, it is terribly sad to struggle through sickness.

I know how much she loved life.  My heart goes out to you as you miss her presence.  May our Lord and the love of friends bring you comfort.  We do celebrate her joy in living.

With my deepest condolences,

Hi Lynn, 

I’m so sorry for your loss.  Her obituary and pictures are beautiful.  I’ve missed seeing her so much since her retirement.  

She was such a wonderful lady.  I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.  I know your heart is hurting, my thoughts and prayers are with you. 

My mother also suffered from IPF.  I was devastated when they diagnosed her with that, so when I heard Nancy was also diagnosed with it, I was again devastated.

Mom passed away 4 yrs ago Nov. 28th.  Now, maybe Nancy and mom will be friends, with absolute perfect healing.  

May you be surrounded with comfort and warmth from family and friends.

My Dear Sweet Lynn,
It is with heavy heart, after talking with you this morning and learning of the loss of our Dear Friend Nancy, that I write this note of sympathy to you.
What a blessing Nancy was throughout her life to everyone she came in contact with. I enjoyed so much working with her at Thurston Motor Lines for all the years.  So many wonderful memories we have shared. I remember leaving the office so many times and coming to your apartment on Friendly Avenue, Laughing and talking sometimes until two o'clock in the morning , going home and getting up and at work at seven.  You and She could make the best Pizza ever! 
All the times She, You, Cindy and I went Christmas Caroling around the apartments. There was never a dull moment with Nancy, as you know! She kept us laughing all evening. It was the same way at work. I really do miss those wonderful days. 

I am so sorry Honey for your loss. Been there and done that so I know what you are going through. The only thing we can do now is relish all the good times and be thankful. Nancy was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed by all. I am just thankful she will not have to suffer any longer. We don't understand now, but some day we will and we will see her again!

If there is anything I can do, Please do not hesitate to ask! Love You!
Phil

Dear Lynn,
  I so hate to hear of the passing of sweet Nancy. I  enjoyed seeing  you both. Nancy always had a smile on her face no matter how bad she may have felt.  I will miss her fun loving soul! Please let me know if you may need anything at all. You both have always had a special place in my heart.

Hey Lynn,  

It absolutely breaks my heart, the decision you had to make. Nancy was sweet, fun and very funny and will be missed. Sunday morning we had actually driven past the condo to show Ava where she stayed before we bought our place. We were talking about all the good times we had there and wondering if you two had gotten to spend more time there since you had retired. I do hope you got to make many good memories there. I know it was where her heart was. I thank you for all the years you opened your second home to my family and for making it feel like it was our home as well. I wish I could thank Nancy again for all the times I walked away from her desk cracking up at something she said with her dry sense of humor. She was an absolute hoot. I am glad her suffering has ended and that she had you there holding her hand throughout.

I met Nancy at the Pulmonary Rehab Program where I volunteer. I knew from the beginning that she was a unique person. She had a great smile and sense of humor. She was always delightful to talk with. She enjoyed sharing some of her travels with me and was interested in where my next trip was going to be. I will miss her! My thoughts and prayers are with Lynn and all her family and friends at this difficult time.  May you find comfort and peace in the days ahead as you remember and celebrate someone so special.

In this world, when someone helps you smile, it is a blessing and Nancy could make you laugh just by laughing herself .  One of my first memories of her is her laughter and I loved to hear that especially on those long days when the clock seemed to stand still.   She was someone you could share  your sorrows and joys with  as she appreciated both.

Lynn, my prayers are with you as I know this world is a better place because of the life the two of you shared and the  lives you've touched along the journey.  

God bless and fill  you with His peace.

Deb


Lynn & Family,  I will never forget Nancy.  She was one of a kind.  She was and still is one of my dearest friends.  I am going to miss our Duke Basketball conversations and beach conversations this year.  You are all in my prayers.  Chris

I'll always remember Nancy as that funny woman picking on me about the tires & wheels on my Camaro. While walking into the building to work one morning years ago, Nancy asked me "Does your husband wake up each morning to feather dust your car & tire shine those tires?"  She was a character. Always something funny to say. Been missing her smile at work for while now. Nancy's family and her "Lynn" sending my sympathies, prayers & hugs. 

Lynn, 

I am so very sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. Nancy was a kind and generous soul and an absolute hoot. I can't tell you how many times I walked away from her giggling over something she said. I told her often that she was a nut. I will take comfort in those memories and I hope you do as well. 

Beverly Gaulden

My sweet Lynn and the rest of Nancy's family and friends.  I was so saddened to learn of Nancy's passing.  It seems that life is so very short; however, I know you had many happy years together--especially in your happy place at the beach.  I am honored that you have shared your beach home with me over the past decade.  I know that Nancy is at rest and I pray for peace for the rest of you.  May the sound of the ocean always remind you of her.....and the peace that comes with that sound.  You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.  I am as close as the phone if you need anything at all.
Much love,
Kathy Hodges
