To the very first friend I ever had at the age of 4. Nancy, I will continue to think of you often and reflect on our fun childhood memories. You’ll always be in my heart. Love you always.
You will be dearly missed
Few have affected me in the way that you have. You have left behind a legacy of love and kindness and I’ll never forget you.
I have many memories of Nancy. The latest being last Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) when my family and I stopped by when we got into town. I was in my brothers chair, Nancy was in hers, my wife was next to Nancy on the couch and my brother was on the floor. I was giving Nancy a bit of grief because that is what I do. My wife says, “I would pay 5 bucks to see her reach over to chop you in the neck and shut you up.” Nancy opened her beautiful eyes, smiled her smile and said, “Have you got the money?” It was a really good moment. As sad as I am for Nancy’s passing and the uncertainty of the future for my brother and my nieces and nephews I have great joy knowing that she was saved, had a personal relationship with Jesus and there is no doubt in my mind that she is at complete peace.
Nancy you were a role model to me. Not only did all your children see Jesus in you so did everyone else you met. You will always be loved and missed. Until we meet again.
We will miss you terribly Nancy. Your unwavering strength and courage was a true testament of your faith in Jesus Christ. Rest assured your church family will continue to love and watch over your family.
David and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You are all in my prayers.

My dearest sister by blood and by Faith. I miss you terribly. I will never forget you and the way you always uplifted others even when you needed it. You were my first friend, and as the years went on we got closer than ever. Thank you for being my sister. For always being there and for shining your light of love life and faith for all to see. You gained your wings and I can’t pick someone more deserving. You were and inspiration to all who ever came into contact with. Loved you then love you still always have always will rest in peace my beautiful dear sister I love you with all my heart to the Moon and back
My mouth cannot begin to express the sadness my heart is feeling for your family. However I was honored enough to have spent time with Nancy on many occasions, usually at one of their family gatherings. She was a wonderful woman and is now free from that terrible disease. She may have moved on but she will forever be with you and watching over all of you. GOD bless all of you. May you find some peace in her memories.
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
Love you cousin. I will always cherish our memories together. Especially when you used to babysit my brothers and me when we were little and we would watch scary movies together. My condolences to everyone in the family. I love you all. Rest in peace Nancy.
We met Nancy and Dave at CTCA
She lit up the room. We didn’t know her long but what a sweet spirit she had.She loved life.
She loved Dave and her children so much. Nancy will always be in our hearts.
I pray the Lord give strength and a peace to Dave and the family.
Enter in my good and faithful servant.
My love! Thank you for choosing me.

Your love and strength touched many hearts. I loved seeing you sitting behind home plate as our Cubbies played ball and at our practices! Your smile and laughter brought so much joy to everyone around you!! From the Foland family and our Independence Cubs baseball family we Love you Nancy!
Dave,
You are never alone God and Nancy are watching over you and wrapping their arms tightly around you and the kids! You always have a shoulder and ear to cry and let it out whenever you need! Jana and I love you and Nancy!! Remember you and Nance will one day be in each other’s arms again!!

Dear David and family, I feel for your loss. I didn’t get the privilege of meeting Nancy in person but I did through her Facebook messages. Knowing the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior helps with the grief process. It is a process and the family will make it through and get stronger. Love to the family , your cousins. Jim and Gwen Gilbow
Nancy brought so many gifts to our lives. We will never forget her.
To our Beautiful Nancy. You put up such a good fight, it seems God wanted you home resulting in our intense grieving. Your spirit and zest for life is making me take a long harder look at my life and strive harder to achieve the love of our Lord which you had and have obtained. I thank you for that. I love you Dear sister (inlaw). May your peace in heaven be what we all imagine it to be. You are missed.And may David the kids and all extended family have peace, love and strength from the memories you worked so hard to leave us. So smile on Nancy.
I will miss your constant smile and gracious way of handling struggles. Your were a dear friend to me for many many years. My heart is saddened for those you leave behind, but at peace with the fact you’re no longer in pain. May you rest in peace my friend. I love you always.
Dave I am sorry this day came, I prayed for you and Nancy, and will always keep you and the kids in my prayers.

To my family, I know Na-Na is no longer hurting, and she will be surely missed. We have alot of memories of great times and inspirations. I am blessed to know that her faith even during the tough times spoke more to my heart than anything. One statement she told me will resonate to my core, “God trusted me with this, and no one else can take it the path that I can.”
Nancy you were such a strong courageous women of faith. Your love of your Jesus shone on your face. You and David were such an example of the peace we can have with a relationship with God.
David you will continue to be in our prayers
To the Family , I love you all, and my heart is sad that we have no longer have , our beloved Nancy here , but glad that she is no longer in any pain. And now she has her real Angel wings.
I like will so miss that Smile, that just made you want to smile back. I will always love you Nancy and miss you,
David, I never got to know Nancy, but I just watched the wonderful video of her with so many smiles and so pretty. Although you and I haven’t seen each other in years, it was good to see you in a couple of the pictures too. I guess you and I fit the term “distant cousins” but I was kept aware of Nancy’s ongoing situation by my mom and I have thought of you often. It’s heart breaking to me that your life’s chapter with Nancy had to come to an early ending but you will have that chapter to remember forever which I’m sure sure has pages and pages of many many happy moments in it. My best wishes to you, your family and for Nancy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Our prayers continue for David and the family. This marks a transition not an end to her story. May your faith lead and guide you in the days to come. Remember the love Nancy had for or Savior and for you. May God comfort and keep you.
Nancy. I loved you for who were and are. Your peace and trust in Jesus was so evident. You will are missed. I celebrate your new beginning in heaven and will some day join you there. David and family, you are loved and we will continue to be here for you.
David, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Nancy was such a special individual. Her smile and love for Jesus showed through her life each day. She set such an example to live for Jesus, regardless of life’s circumstances. She has taught us much and she will be missed in our church family. Heaven is now rejoicing, even though the sorrow here is great. Love you all!
Dave and all the kid’s my heart breaks for you all. I know you each know the love Nancy had for all of you and fought so hard to beat this terrible desease. Nancy always had a smile that would light up the room such a beautiful woman inside and out.
Thank you Dave for allowing me to come spend some days with Nancy while you worked. I will never forget the day she told me we have to get the kitchen things in the dining room put away or Dave with throw them away…. I assured her I would bring them to the kitchen and we would put them away together she made everything so perfect in each cabinet and drawer all the while talking about all kinds if things from back in the day growing up a couple blocks from our house to wanting to making sure you Dave and the kids knew how much she loved you all.
That day we went to the bank and grocery store to get gricer I es to make dinner. She was weak but she was determined with my help we would make dinner for her family.
I so enjoyed those days and I knew when I left to go home that I was a better person by just being with her and admiring her strength and faith in That God had this and she was OK if God needed her more than us.
On her last day on hearth and I left to go home I again was amazed at her strength to sit on the edge of the bed with Dave neeling beside her to look up at me and tell me she Loved me and she would see me later. Not good bye and I know we will see her in Gloryland.
Dave you are one of the strongest men I know and the Love you and Nancy shared was so awesome.
Thank you for allowing Deanna and I to be with you as family in the darkest days this past week.
Love and prayers always
Nancy you are true inspiration of courage to everyone .I am gonna miss the time we shared sitting and laughing but I will never forget the memories that we had from being you girls to the ones we have made the last few months ……heaven sure did gain a awesome angel and I know you are watching over us all . You will be greatly missed and I love you ….
I will cherish the time me and you and kids made fried ice cream along with so many other memories that I will cherish. I even think of when we were kids and had our Christmas dinners in Belton. Oh and of course your cooking. loved playing games with you too. The funny things you would say and your laugh. You also was creative with good ideas.
We are so saddened that our Niece Nancy lost her long battle with Cancer. We will miss her ALWAYS SMILING FACE AND HER KNACK OF MAKING ANYONE ENTERING THEIR HOME TO BE PART OF THEIR FAMILY. She touched so many lives and her Compassion for others was enormous. She so loved her church and lived And taught to others God’s word. Her love of family was enormous. David was her true SOUL MATE AND THE TWINKLE IN HER EYE. She was the greatest fan of ALL HER CHILDREN. Get togethers with family and extended family was ALWAYS A GOOD TIME SHARED BY ALL. We will GREATLY MISS YOU NANCY, but will take strength in REMEMBERING ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WE SHARED TOGETHER.
