" A SPATHIPHYLLUM was ordered on March 11, 2016 "
"My heartfelt sympathy to Nathan, Michelle; Leanna and Dave; grandchildren, Mikayla and Brayden; mother Velma; and her brothers. Nancy was my good friend, and neighbor-a neighbor everyone hopes they could have. She was just the sweetest, kindest person; always thinking of others. I loved this lady. I will miss our talks. I will miss her mowing her lawn, hanging up clothes, where we talked many times; working in her garden - which she took such good care of; and me being awarded some of the fruits of her labor. She loved the Lord, and her family very much. I am crying as I am writing this; I am going to miss her so much. Just won't be the same not having her next door or in my life. Jesus, you welcomed home an absolute Angel. May God Bless this family now and always."
