I have never met Nancy in person but rather by being a fan of her delightful expressions in words. In fact I still have 2 of her poems she submitted to Kaleidoscope magazine of which I am editor and wish to published online at the Artbeat Studio website where her poems will be shared with a lot more people. God bless her! - Posted by: Henry Peters (Publishing business) on: Oct 24, 2016

Nancy, I've often thought of you throughout the years, even though we were never close friends... I don't know why, perhaps we had more in common than we knew. May you rest in peace in your new home. - Posted by: Kim (Junior High School) on: Mar 12, 2013

Dearest Nancy, I last saw you at Dr. R. Blouw's our family physician in October of last year. We shared memories of our mothers, I introduced you to my Grandson, (your first cousin 3x removed, and how I as your little cousin was drawn to be as beautiful as my darling cousin. You always radiated a beauty, through your eyes, your loving ways and your style. I remember years ago staring at you and thinking you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I am glad I had the opportunity to tell you that during our visit. You had a special way of being you and I knew how much you suffered from your illness, I only wish we had made the effort to contact one another more often. I know you are at peace and will live forever in our hearts and memories. We'll all miss your precious soul. hugs to our sweet lady. - Posted by: Angela (first cousin once removed) on: Feb 07, 2013

Dear Nancy, thank you for your unconditional friendship. You always gave me your best whenever we spoke or were together. I was blessed to have had you as an instructor in medical school. I wanted to let you know how much I admired your intelligence, kindness and courage, and that you shared these selflessly throughout our friendship. I will never forget you, my great friend! - Posted by: Kirsten Westberg (Friend) on: Feb 07, 2013

Dear Nancy, I will miss you and our time spent together. I regret that I did not recognize how very sad you were. I now know you are where you wanted to be, with your Mom and Dad and away from a life that was too difficult for your gentle soul to handle. I will meet up with you one day but until then I will miss you. You remain in my heart, my beautiful, gentle, funny cousin. Love from Dianne - Posted by: Dianne Wilde (cousin) on: Feb 06, 2013
