Dwayne and family,
I was blessed to know Nancy. She really did have a big heart. May God bless her memory. Judy Erickson

I worked with Nancy at Shared Hope International a few years ago and thought she was a delightful lady. She was fun to visit with and her conversations never interfered with getting the task at hand completed.
Although she is well now, she will be greatly missed.
With care,
Mary June Smith
