Nancy and I met as freshman at Pittsburg State University. We became roommates and enjoyed a lifelong friendship. Boys, I am sorry for your loss. I know how much she loved and prayed for you and your families. I loved her fiesty sense of humor. She loved the Lord and would want you, her family, to follow in her life of faith. May God bless you all.

Nancy and I were friends for our entire lives. She was two months older and we shared secrets as only kids can do. We would walk together to Warner's little grocery store and by penny candy. So many fond memories she has left with me. I will miss her but know she is now at peace with Chuck and the rest of her family.

NANCY AND I BECAME FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND REMAINED FRIEND FOR SOME TIME. I LOST TRACK OF HER AFTER I MARRIED IN 1963. SHE WAS ONE OF MY BRIDEMAIDS WHEN I MARRIED IN 1963. I TRIED TO LOCATE HER AND ONLY TALKED TO HER ONE TIME AND I REGRET NOT KNOWING THAT SHE LIVED BACK IN CHANUTE, MY HOME TOWN. SHE ATTENDED MY CHURCH FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HER GRANDMOTHER REBA, PLAYED THE ORGAN THERE. I AM VERY SADDENED TODAY TO HEAR OF HER PASSING AND I WILL BE AT THE SERVICE ON FRIDAY. MAY GOD BLESS HER FAMILY.
