Nancy: To obtain the love and respect of another is the highest honor that one can earn. The riches of love and respect that were bestowed upon you by your family and friends are a testament not to them, but to the depth of love in your own soul. Daughter, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend. Though your laughter forever rings out in our hearts and your smile forever etched in our memories, it is your loving embrace that is forever felt in our souls. The world is a darker place without you, for you were the beacon of light that guided us. We look forward to enjoying your light again in heaven. Willie, Willie Joe, Bridget, Amber.
