Nancy will always be one of my favorite individuals in my life. She helped me in my growth as a young professional, welcomed prayer together, and shared many laughs together. She was truly among the classiest of individuals this world has seen and those who knew her were blessed. My prayers and condolences to her family and may you find healing, not through time, but through celebrating the many memories you had with her. She spoke so well of you (her family) and loved you a lot. Blessings.
