i will always have fond memories of my best friend and sister.Nancy was so funny and fun to be around. I hated when she had to start having oxygen all the time. Our mom knew when she left with me there was no telling when we would get back. We would start guessing when her cell phone would start ringing telling her its getting late.Lol
The trips we took and the memories my children and grandchildren have will be what we will talk about when reminising about her.She was quick witted,fun,funny,sincere, loved people, and kind hearted. I will always love you. My only regret was that she couldn't live a normal life like the rest of her siblings. She is free now in a place we all look forward to going. I'll miss you until I see you on the other side sweet sister

I have many fond memories of Nancy & my cousin Pete from when I was younger ; I always admired Nancy & cared a lot for her. (Pete's father was my mother's brother )
May Nancy rest in the arms of God.
