So many special memories of Miss Nancy. She was a blessing to all who knew her. She will be missed but will live forever in our hearts.
Lynn, I was sorrowful when I was told about our losing Nancy this morning. She was a good friend every time I saw her over all these years. We graduated from Mission School of Nursing at the same time in ‘53, and I saw her often at our Mission Belles meetings, as recently as a few weeks ago. I took Nancy’s picture that day and will forward it to you if you would send me an address. God Bless you, honey, she was so proud of you.
Lynn, I’am so sorry about your Mom. You will be in my prayers. She was such a sweet lady and will be greatly missed.
