Nancy always enjoyed when Jodee and I visited her and Ike. She knew our dogs were with us and would always have special treats for them. She had a beautiful smile and a wonderful laugh. She will be missed beyond words.

Whether we were playing cards or talking and enjoying her delicious desserts Nancy always made you feel welcome and we always had a good time. Nancy always had endless energy and will be missed by so many.
In remembrance, I chose a Living Tribute to Nancy with having a tree planted in her memory in the Allegheny National Forest, Poconos, Pennsylvania. I know when I go outside to enjoy this beautiful country I will think of Nancy and know that there is a tree growing in her memory. I don’t have to go to the national forest, when I see trees growing wherever I am, it makes me smile and think of Nancy. I hope you can do that too.
