"Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. I'm Natalie Lourens. Nancy worked with my Mom, Patricia (Sumpter) Lourens at Diamond Crystal for many years. Nancy was a great friend of ours and would often time visit Mom and sit with her on the front porch facing old HWY 6 in Colfax. Nancy was there to share her support and love when Mom passed away in June of 2014 and I'm sure Mom has a spot right next to her for Nancy on her front porch in heaven. I loved her funny personality, she always made me laugh when she would come visit. Sending you all my love and well wishes. -Natalie Jo Lourens"
