My deepest sympathy to you, Ken and Julie. I know your mom is proud of you. You did so much to make her life wonderful, you should both be proud, as well.
I met Nancy March 12th, 1983. She had lent Keith her car for our first date and Keith locked the keys in the car and had to have her meet us to bring the spare key. We laughed that I was meeting his mom on our first date. 8 months later she would become my mother-in-law. Throughout the years we shared a lot of laughter and shed tears together more than once. And though I will miss her, I take comfort that she is with her loved ones that have gone before her.
Yep, it says July. I’m here a month early! Will be back on the correct day.
RIP and I know you are telling your cousin Wanda Scharnell Batha all the exciting things that happened. Glad I went to the family reunion last summer.
Love you??
We will always remember Nancy with a great joke or comment. She was so wonderful with children at Parkway United Nursery School. They loved her and she always made them feel special. We are so sorry we will be out of town for the Memorial Service, but please know you all are in our prayers.
We will always remember Nancy as a dear friend, who brought warmth and graciousness into our lives. We send our love and support to all of the family.
Love, Audrey and John
