Aunt Nancy was a fun woman who made a room light up. She offered herself with her heart and there was a warmth of love you could feel when around her. I’m so thankful she is safely in the arms of Jesus and no longer suffers. She was a great lady and will be missed by many.

Dear sweet niece, Was there ever a moment when your arms were not warm and welcoming? I think not. In childhood we shared sleep-overs and playdates. and maybe a few tap dance lessons. Your mother was certain that you were going to be the next Shirley Temple….-…and for us you were. You sang, you danced and you were cute as a button. You inherited your dads smile and sweet nature. We lost touch as we grew but during my visits to B’ham a lunch together was always on the agenda. I will miss you. Be at peace. With love, Barbara
