"Ray and Keith: Over the years we meet a lot of people but only a few remain an important part of our life. Nancy (Walker) Wilson entered the lives of Bob, Larry and I in 1974 when she became the aircraft maintenance secretary and parts manager at Byerly Aviation, Inc., a position that she held until her retirement in 2001. Nancy was well known in the general aviation industry for her superior networking knowledge of locating and securing parts, especially for Aero Commander and Mooney aircraft. I am extremely blessed and honored to have known and worked with someone as lovely and caring as Nancy. In spite of the fact that over the years, she endured various health issues, adversity was not part of her vocabulary. She taught us to appreciate life and accept that which we cannot change. Although Nancy\'s earthly book of life is finished, we can only imagine the joyous and gigantic reunion that is taking place in Heaven with her arrival. For sure, Nancy was a Christian. Her love and dedication to faith, family and friends is a constant reminder of how great a lady Nancy truly was. I am so sorry for your loss, I loved her too. Merry L. Byerly "
