The one person who reminded me not to get upset about the socks on the floor, the kids beds unmade or the dishes still not washed in the sink. There are more important things like family to be doing things with than those things. Just when you think you had it difficult - there is always someone else who has it a little harder than you. You were my inspiration to life it self. You always made me laugh and we had such great times together. Here is looking up to you now and forever (in heaven) my wonderful cousin. Love you more!

This is to my little sister. I will never forget that huge smile that you always had on your face no matter what! You lived in so much pain for so long but always had a smile and never complained. You just kept your head up and kept on marching ahead. I never remembered a time that you didn't always encourage others to keep fighting. To loose two family members to this terrible disease is a heavy burden. Why can't WE do more?  I will miss you greatly but I will never forget you.  Love Jack

Nancy was one of the rare angels God put on this earth to bring laughter and joy and hope to others, all before, and while fighting the biggest fight of her life. As the deli owner in the building where she was employed for many years, we became friends .  She was like no other -an enthusiasm that was infectious to all around her. Smiling and caring for the tasks at hand, and the people around her, and never wavering-her faith steadfast.  I will miss asking Miss Robin about you but I know God has big things planned for you.  May He comfort your daughters, husband and the rest of your family while they grieve and give them peace that you are in a better place.  With much love. Say hi to my Mom and Dad-they love meeting new people-especially from the Midwest!

We spent a few days with Nancy and her great friend Robin in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico several years ago. We met on the beach and made quick friends. Nancy made a huge impact on us. Her love for her family and love of life were apparent. Nancy was fun loving and a true warrior, her positive attitude was something to be admired. Our sincerest condolences to her husband, daughters and other surviving family members. We are very sorry for your great loss.

What I will remember most about Nancy is her inner spark, her exuberance and her zest for life.  Being priviledged to be her neighbor for the past dozen years or so, we shared many waves between driveways and periodic conversations ranging from Roughrider baseball to Nascar and doggie ice cream.  Nancy was a sweet, vivacious, caring person and will be greatly missed.

  Nancy was a great person fun loving ,hard working and a zing for life. What a fighter she was. We will think of you often, Love you dearly, and miss you so much. Till we meet again.....Jackie and Deral Green,Allen Tx.

I met Nancy a couple of times, but the person I met was a woman with a great personality, was lots of fun to be around with a big smile on her face.  I never realized that she had gone through so much sickness and pain.  She will be greatly missed by her friends and family here on earth, but she is now with our Lord in Heaven.  Rest in peace Nancy!  My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.

I only met Nancy a couple of times, but the person I met was a woman with a great personality and was lots of fun to be around with a big smile on her face.  I wouldn't have ever guessed that she had been through so much sickness.  She will be greatly missed here on earth by her friends and family, but is now with our Lord in Heaven.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time. Rest in Peace Nancy, you will be truly missed!!

Nancy was such a fun person. She had such a huge sense of humor. A great loss. My condolences to Danelle and LeeAnne.

My condolences to your families  Wish I could be there in person, but I will be with you in my thoughts and prayers.  Blessed be your memories  Aunt Marian Hagel

Nancy was our little "Warrior Goddess."  She fought a tough battle these past few years, but never lost her will to live.  She was a true fighter and will be dearly missed.  Rest in Peace sweet Nancy.  You have more than earned a place and Heaven and they will be lucky to have you!

Nancy - I was never blessed to meet you personally but you were a wonderful friend and inspiration to my Daughter Robin. I was glad we were able to give your daughter the NASCAR Jacket and collectables a few years ago. GOD has taken you back into HIS arms and you have blessed so many people - may your family and friends find peace in knowing you have joined all the Saints in Heaven - John Gessick Pottsboro TX

Please accept my condolences. May God Almighty give you the strength to endue until his promises are fulfilled.

Nancy, you are one of the special ones - and Heaven is much richer now with your presence!  You showed how to live a life with grit and determination, yet also with joy and love.  I was so honored and blessed to get to work with you, share NASCAR with you, share our kids' lives and goings on, and just get to call you "friend."  You may have left us now for just a short time, and are finally free from any pain and suffering, but I know I will get to see you again real soon - so keep your Jimmie Johnson stories sharp!  Ted, Danelle, LeAnne and family, I pray for peace and comfort for all of you.  Blessings,    Brett

Nancy, my dearest best friend you will be missed very much.  You were a terrific friend that always kept me in line. We laughed and cried together for 14 years. You always had a smile on you face no matter how much pain you were in. You will no longer feel that pain only peace. God has called you home not to rest but to start a new journey.  I will see you again; my friend, very soon and I know you will have something to say when that happens to make me smile and laugh. Words can not describe how much your friendship meant and your love. I always looked up to you and you were my mentor. I know you have your Angel Wing's wrapped around all of us.  You were a beautiful person with a wonderful soul. Nancy was so tough and fought every battle with hope, courage, strength, laughter, love, a big heart of gold and a big smile. Nancy, I will miss you more then you know.  I will cherish all of our memories.  The snowflake you gave me is always by my heart.  I'm so grateful and thankful that God brought you into my life. Until we meet again my friend.

I will miss Nancy, she was with my longtime friend Ted since 2000 and was a blessing to him and all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Nancy was a tough lady and fought hard for the last 10 or so years battling to stay alive. It is hard to say goodbye to people that mean so much to us but, we all know she is now with the lord and free of pain and in a much better place. We will all see her again and she will tell us what a joy her new place has been... Thank you GOD for the honor of knowing Nancy and having her as my friend and all the fun times and smiles she brought to my life. I Love You Nancy and will see you when GOD brings me home.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy.  Mercy how you will be missed but we take comfort in the knowledge that heaven has their very special angel back.  You were the definition of strength and courage and had a warrior spirit like no one we've ever known.  If there was an adventure in life to be had; you took it.  We were and remain in awe of you.  But most important: we love how you showed us how to live life as a reflection of our Jesus.  You gave us all a definition of what living love looks like in a way we have never seen love lived.  We will treasure the memories of your laughter, your quick wit, your infinite wisdom, your intelligence, and your ability to solve problems creatively.  We will miss sharing so much with you but especially the holidays.  We've never had a more meaningful Christmas than the year we took on your special shopping project.  That was one of the years we all got to feel first hand how to live love.  For now we shed tears, but we joyfully look forward to our next meeting with you.  Your Women's Group.
