Your Mother and wife was loved and respected by all on Iden Avenue. She was talented in so many way, one of which was the many stories she wrote for the individual neighbors. We will all miss her dearly. Love, Sharon and Max DeRaad
Dennis it is with loving memories that we feel at this time. It was some of Nancy’s freindship at a encompass gathering when I was paired up with her to get to know something New about the person we were paired up with. We realized we were both from Ohio I was from Alliance . Then we talked about the mid west conference. I was on the Mission board there. We each have 3 Boys and on and on it went. We are going to miss her and her wisdom she would always share at our Bible studies. Our prayers are with you and the grief we share .
With love Dale and Dorothy Betz
Dear Jeff and Liz, our hearts go out to you at this time of loss. May you find healing over time.
