Nancy was a part of my life for a very long time. We laughed together, we cried together, we helped each other, hunted mushrooms, and did silly things. She gave and gave to anyone and would have given, or may have given, the shirt off her back to anyone who needed it. She deeply loved her family and friends and saw good in most everyone. I loved her like a sister and a friend. She will be truly missed by everyone who's life she touched.

I wish i had an rv, i would pick up as many people as i could and then make a parade to see you off. We would have fireworks, and food, and most of all laughter and love. I can see you up in heaven smiling at all your loved ones.
You will be missed. We do have our memories to keep in our hearts.
Prayers for all.
