Sorry for the loss of your dear love one. May you find comfort in God’s promise when no resident will say:”l am sick.” Isaiah 33:24 May God’s word the Bible bring you comfort during this diffcult time. Romans 15:4
Nancy was a beautiful Bright spirited fun loving Momma and grandma ! I will remember most her joking around making me laugh and cutting up just to lighten and brighten the moment. She was without a doubt the most giving mother ..always doing everything she possibly could do to help out ! We have many beautiful Christmas traditions and memories that she started …on Christmas Eve …the kids would be out to bed ear the adults would party and eat only to awaken the kids a few hours later laughing and playing letting them know Santa had come! She treasured those moments with her family and lived giving !! The amazing Filipino meals we shared and the awesome family time around the kitchen table will always make me smile when I think of Nancy. She loved God -her family and boy did she love and live life to the fullest! Sure will missy her ! God bless you all ..you are amazing kids and have a good mom to thank for that !! Love you guys! Love you Momma Nancy !
My memories of Mom (Nancy) were so many – but mostly her laughter – her jokes – her kidding around and cracking me up ! She was incredibly fun to be with. She was An amazing mother and gave her ALL to her kids – the Mist Love a mother could possibly give ! I loved bringing her fresh fish because no matter whether it was cleaned or not she wanted the fresh fish! I loved her cooking – her advice – her sweet smile and her dedication to her family ! She loved the Lord and we prayed many times while on the phone – even in the last couple years -she would say Pray for me -and say I love you and that will always resonate with me! She really was a good Mom and Grandma ! Will miss her dearly! Love you guys! So sorry for your incredible loss- she is surely dancing with Jesus right now making him smile !
