I was so sorry to hear about Nancy. I will always remember her as my old neighbors growing up, then later becoming friends through line dancing. I remember most the fun time we had when the 2 of us along with 4 other friends took a drive to Nashville. What a great lady she is. She will be missed. I know we will meet again . She will be your angel and always watch over you with her beautiful smile. R.I.P. my friend. My prayers and thoughts for her whole family.
