Dear Family,
I first meant Nancy at Curves! We were about the only two, who rode our bike there! Then last year I went to Ace Fitness for a while and there the two of us were! Riding our bikes to work out once again! A few times I took Nancy home, when neither of us rode our bikes! She was always so cheerful and nice. She worked out faithful too! Much better than I ever did. I shall miss Nancy so very much. My sincere condolences to the entire family! Marilee Johnson

I am so sorry to hear of Nancy\’s passing. She was such a beautiful person. I remember her from church and school. Although she was younger than me, we talked often, and always laughed a lot, I loved hearing her laugh. You have my deepest sympathy, and God has a beautiful new angel.
