I know Nancy has finally found peace after such a long and difficult rode. I always felt a special connection with Nancy and love her so very much. I know she is no longer with us on this Earth, but she will always be in my heart and therefore will have a presence on this Earth for as long as I live. I will miss her beautiful smile.
