To the Davis family, I truly will miss Nancy. She was a good friend despite being so much younger than I am. She fought valiantly against her cancer. I look forward to being reunited with her when my time comes. Continuing to pray for you all. Much love

Dale, Elena, and Thomas, I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of visiting with your mom when the family would come to Illinois in the summer with Dorothy’s parents. It was so much fun playing with all the cousins in Uncle Georgie’s barn. We would go to the loft and jump into the hay at the bottom. We called ourselves the Screaming Eagles. Those summer days spent with your mom and Uncle Todd are some of my most treasured memories of my childhood. Prayers for Nancy’s family as you adjust to the next chapter in your lives.

Aunt Nancy was one of the best people. She loved without fear and didn’t let others influence her opinions or actions. She accepted people as they are and saw the best in everyone. She will be in my heart forever. ♥️
