To Nancy’s family: She will never be forgotten> We had so many memories of times gone by and what all we have been through but by the Grace of God we were able to look back and say how we got over! Her sweet, sweet personality will always be in my heart and I will miss her so much. She was a good person and I could go on and on about the many things that she did to make people happy but I will just say you all know that I loved her very much and my prayers and wishes for all of you are that you will be proud of such a great matriarch. May God bless all of you always.
Love, Margaret Drake
