Bean and Debra A. Moyer.

Condolences to the Family

Dear Bean family,
I was unable to attend the service for Nancy and I am sorry it is taking me so long to get to this condolence. I met Nancy years ago through the Lititz Public Library. She was such a staunch supporter of the library! She supported us as a volunteer and a member of the Lititz Friends of the Lubrary Group, of which I am a co-president. I truly enjoyed getting to know her as we worked to support the library. I just wanted you to know that I plan to make a donation to the library in her name.  You have my sincere condolences. Maryann Richmond

Dear Harry and family,
So very sorry to read of your mother’s passing. I have such fond memories of her from when I was a child growing up in Lititz. Comfort for you and your family.

To the children, grandchildren, and sisters of Nancy Bean. I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear of Nancy’s passing. Nancy was really a spiritual giant at Trinity EC Church. She was always loving and caring with people. She remembered their names and stood where she could personally greet them each Sunday. She was humble and “down to earth” with a wonderful sense of humor. She served her Lord faithfully until she couldn’t. You must be so proud that she was related to you and a part of your life. May the Lord comfort you as you grieve her loss.

Dear Bean family,
I am Nancy’s cousin Aileen and I last saw Nancy several years ago when Louise visited from California. I so enjoyed those visits when that would happen. We always got together for lunch.But it was so lovely to see Jean and  to be part of the celebration of Nancy’s life.My heartfelt condolences on this great loss.
I am sure Nancy will be missed.May you all be at peace as she was a special lady and is certainly with her Lord.
Much Love and Comfort to you all.
Aileen Christener Brandt
