"Jimmy, Nannie Ann, Sharon and Pam, We were deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's passing and so very sorry for what we know her loss means to your family. Nancy was a devoted, loving wife and mother. As my aunt, she also kept a faithful watch over my Mother in the years after my Father's death when Mom lived alone and her health was declining. Nancy's caring and unselfish attentiveness toward Mom was a reasuring source of comfort to those of us who lived some distance away. May she rest in eternal light, happiness and peace. "

"Jimmy & Family: It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love. But it's important to remember that when people die they leave something very special behind, they leave us memories of many things they said and did. And as long as we have those memories, the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds. I have alot of special memories of Nancy, the 2 of you were such a pleasure working with on all the Real Estate you sold and purchased. Nancy's mother Marie and my Dad Henry Murphy were 1st. cousins, otherwise my Grandmother Doshie, and Nancy's grandmother Lizzie were sisters."
