My precious sister Nancy it has been 8 weeks and I miss you so!  Being "the Baby" I was always spoiled, pampered and LOVED by my three big sisters and now there is a huge hole in my heart as you have gone home to be with Mother and Daddy.  I know you will STILL be taking care of me, watching and guiding me.   We were all 4 BLESSED to have each other.  Having lost Daddy at 5, times were tough but my sisters made sure I never did without.  My FIRST watch, record player, the newest styles in clothes OR toys.  My Suzy Smart doll Christmas 1962, my BEST present, ( other than the Royal Blue sweater and plaid skirt! ).  We SHARED EVERYTHING, including our children,  most of all we have shared a lifetime of LOVE and a relationship not everyone has the privilege to have.  God healed you the moment he took you home and to know you no longer suffer offers me peace but nothing will take away the emptiness I feel.  You were the most generous, kind, loving and compassionate person I have ever known.  Until we are all together again as God promised I know you are waiting (and watching) for us in Heaven.  I love you and miss you always.  Your Baby sister....

Nancy Kay..After one of our many childhood "disagreements"Mother would tell us "years from this moment you will be far-far away from each other and will wish for each other" ! NOW I understand.    Oh, I do so already have such a break in my heart!
Little sister ..I miss you so very much already even tho I  know  you've just gone home!

I met Nancy in September 1962 when I started to work at the telephone company. I was 17, she was 18 and we became “family”. Nancy was my friend and my “fourth sister” and we shared everything over the years. I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life. To her family I say thank you for sharing your mother and your sister with me. I love you all! Always remember to forget the times that made you sad and  never forget to remember the times that made you glad!

Nancy and I prided ourselves on our ability to shop all day. I spent many fun days shopping at malls, garage sales, and thrift stores. Shopping with Nancy was the best. We never had to worry about who saw something first. We shopped for each other as much as ourselves. I have a skillet that she found for me at Salvation Army. She said it was the best for cooking eggs. I never take it out to use it that I don't think of her giving it to me. 
She had a great recipe for hot sauce. Once I asked her to make it for me and bring it with her when she came for the weekend. I had a bag of chips ready. We watched movies and ate the chips and hot sauce....the whole quart. I told her next time she brought hot sauce, to bring two quarts. One to share and one for me when she left. 
We have not visited face to face in a while because of her illness, but I loved our 3-5 hours talks on the phone when we would catch up with what was going on. Our last one was before Thanksgiving.
