Condolences to the Family
September 11, 2014
I know my condolences are not timely, but please accept them nonetheless. I met Nancy professionally in 2011 not long after she got sick. In my limited time with her, she demonstrated great dedication and a willingness to help. She was smart, thoughtful and honest/direct. I am so sorry for your loss. We lost a good one.

Dear family,
I am so sorry to hear of Nancy’s death. I hold such sweet memories of her when I taught her children. She was quite a woman and I know she will be sorely missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will miss her.

At a time like this it is hard to say all that I would like to say about Nancy. She had the most wonderful smile and laugh that will truly be missed. I met Nancy when our girls were in elementary school and Melissa and Shelley have been life long friends every since. Nancy helped with our Girl Scout troop and always made the meetings fun. Roger, Shelley and Kevin I know she will be missed as nothing can replace a wife and mother. We will hold her memory in our hearts always.
Love to you all.

Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart." Dear Ones, I mourn with you the loss of Nancy. I am grateful we got to know each other the past two years and that we had so many wonderful conversations. She was so proud of your accomplishments, Shelley and Kevin, and bragged about how far you had come in the world. We all know how much she adored Miles and Piper. I pledge that I will help you keep her memory alive in their minds and hearts. She went too young, and I am deeply sorry you lost her. I am grateful she is in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior.
Love,

Although this has been a difficult time for Nancy & heart-breaking for Roger, Michelle, Kevin & family, she is no longer suffering….she once again is reuniting w/those she loved in spirit. You all have wonderful & cherished memories here, but remember, you haven’t lost her…she will always be close by. I was blessed with a recent conversation w/Kevin. Sending love from Emerson Court…
Hugs to all,

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. I so enjoyed becoming friends and sisters in PEO. I truly enjoyed her sense of humor, and her love of life. She had much compassion, and love for life, family, and people in her life. She had admirable strength and courage.
Lovingly,
Patsy Swatek
Dear Shelley, Sean, Kevin, Roger, Miles and Piper,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am relieved Nancy’s suffering has ended, but know she will be sorely missed.
I have so many fond memories of Nancy, and have been thinking about her all day. I remember how she would dance around the kitchen floor when she was cleaning it with a rag underneath her foot. She made GREAT cookies, but would encourage us to eat celery and carrot sticks first that were always in the frig…and then a cookie. Nancy had the best laugh, and would always see the bright side to every situation. She was a great partner to shop with for girls clothes, and loved to listen to music with us when we would dance around the living room to ABBA. Nancy seemed to inherently know what to do in every situation. I remember we called her once in the middle of the night with a medical concern, and she handled the call as though it were the middle of the afternoon.
I am thinking about you all, and wish I were not so far away. I feel blessed to have had Nancy as a part of my life as well as all of you.
Lots of love,
Karen Melodia Weber
Uncle Roger, Shelley, Kevin, Miles and Piper,
There are no words I can say that will make you feel better during this difficult time. I am sorry for your loss. I will always remember my visits to New Jersey and how Aunt Nancy would take me to the library while I was there. I always looked forward to those visits. I will forever carry those memories with me. You all have so many wonderful memories to keep in your hearts and minds as well. Miles and Piper were able to make memories with her as well before she became ill and even after. They too will carry those memories forever in their hearts. I am sad that she has passed, but I am happy knowing she is now in a better place and there is no more pain or suffering. My thoughts and prayers to you all. And whenever you find yourself feeling down, think of a happy time you had with her and know that she is watching over you all.
My love to you all,
Holly
Praying for your family during this time of earthly loss, the love and comfort of the Most High. May you find rest and healing over time, and Christ’s salvation so that you can join Nancy in reigning victoriously in the next life – the one which never ends. God bless you all.
