So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.
May God comfort you at this time, remembering He loves and shelters His children forever.
Nanette was a beautiful lady who loved and served the Lord and was a friend to all. I know she will be greatly missed.
So sad to hear of Nanette’s passing. Even though we did not keep in touch with her and Michael and Terry, we always thought of all of you as family and we loved all of you! We were always so happy to see her when we did get a chance and always loved and appreciated her for the fine job she did raising our brother Ralph’s two sons. May God Bless You Michael and Terry and I pray that you will remember that you have family who loves you.
Mike, Dawn & Family, I’m so sorry about the passing of your mom. I can remember visiting her years ago with my grandmother, Dora King. My dad Aaron Sanford King was a first cousin to Nanette. May God bless and comfort each of you during this time of sorrow.
Love & Prayers,
Shelia King Warren

Our hearts break when our love ones leave us; however, our peace comes from knowing God’s promise of eternal life. You are in my prayers. Jeanette Sams
