We are truly sorry for the great loss of your life mate and Mom. She was a sweet friend of 44 plus years. Nancy was one of the first persons that welcomed us to WBBC and invited us to a Bible Study at Jeanie and Paul’s house. She had endured many health challenges over the last several years and she is at last at peace and in the presence of our Lord and Savior and many friends and family members who have made the journey. She remained upbeat no matter what she had to deal with. Nancy was so much fun to be with and her laugh was unique. She will be so missed by so many. May the Lord give you comfort and peace during this sad time. You will see her again.
Love, Bev and Ben
In His Love,

I am so sorry to hear about Nancy! She was so much fun, had such an infectious laugh and loved the Lord. I remember her telling me about sitting out by the water in her robe, drinking coffee in the mornings. I had to tease her about not getting ready for the day before 10 or 11, but she was out there praying over all the prayer requests at West Bradenton and how could you use your time any better than that. When several of us came back from a women's conference in Nashville Nancy and I sat together on the plane. We talked all the way home. She and Jeanie May made outstanding co-leaders of the Women's Ministry at WBBC. Just so many memories I have of Nancy and the two of you together, Bob. You will see her again someday but I know you will miss her greatly until then. I'm praying for you. Linda
