"Lana, and boys and families... I?m at a loss with words. Nancy was one of the kindest, most caring friends I?ve had. We had so much fun, cried together, ate together, and shopped together! I miss her so much. She loved you all and was always concerned about how you were doing. She was beautiful inside and out. I was blessed to have her as a friend! "
