"While our visits to the Midwest have been few and far between, we have always looked forward to cousin Nancy's Christmas card & note that she would take the time to write by hand every year, despite her difficulties. She knew her writing was hard to read and asked us to "decipher" her card & letter to Mom & Dad (Andy & Betty). Nancy was a great and caring lady. She, and those thoughtfully written notes, will be missed."

"Gail, Lisa and David - You all have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I remember all the fun times that Nancy and I had when you kids were growing up. There wasn't a dull moment with Nancy around. When she laughed, her eyes sparkled. I watched her make your growing up, a wonderful experience for the three of you. Judy (Barclay) Archer"

"I was a nursing classmate of Nancy's and I remember her as a small bundle of energy with red hair. She was always very positive and happy. So sorry for your loss. The nursing profession has lost another great 3 year diploma nurse and they don't have those anymore. Too bad. Marge Burns Tullberg Class of '61 "
