Ken and Family, we are praying for you. Nancy has finished her race. Nancy was a very special lady. We were so glad to get to know her in our Heaven class. May the Lord give you strength, peace and grace in the days ahead. Kim & Dennis Strysick
ReplyDeleteAlthough I knew Nancy for only a short time, both she and you have been an encouragement to me as you walked the valley together with our Lord. I will pray for you and your family in the days ahead as you navigate life without her at your side...but with the Lord continuing to walk with you.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you all! I know that Nancy is at peace in her forever home. May God’s love guide you and support you in the coming days.

Heartbroken. Not sure what to say other than I am so thankful for Nancy's love for the Lord, for people, and for the world. Nancy was full of God's joy and peace in ways that so ministered to our family! Nancy, praying you are dancing in the presence of your heavenly father. Ken, please let us know when we can come by and get that beach date we talked about. We still would love to come and then give hugs in person. We are praying for you to know the Holy Spirit's presence in such an intimate way right now. Hurting with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful to have has Nancy as my friend. She was the most gracious person that I know. She taught me so much about parenting, marriage and relationships. She was so “other” focused, and selfless. She was a true friend that I’m not sure how I will go in without. I am comforted to know that we will see each again. I know that this life on earth is a vapor, and I try to focus on being a light in the darkness. I will long for the day that we can be together again, and to hear her giggle. Nancy has brought many of us together, and by carrying on those relationships, we keep her alive in each of us.
ReplyDeleteNancy will not be quickly forgotten! I loved her. She taught me so many lessons. We only worked together for 4 days during a WAAE convention one year, but it was enough time to leave an imprint on my young heart forever!
ReplyDeleteShe was a beautiful soul. I'm sorry,Ken. God's comfort be with you and your family.
