Ceresco, NE Wednesday, October 13, 2010 I have many great memories of Nancy from my younger years. And even though we didn't keep in touch, whenever I saw her in the store, at a wedding, or just out and about, she made me feel as though it had just been yesterday since we'd spoke. She was never without a smile and I loved to hear her cute chuckle. I've learned long ago not to ask "why" because there really aren't any satisfactory answers. Just know that she was loved and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go to Richard & Family, and Aunt Grace & Family. God grant you peace in the days ahead.Polly Pope

Fremont, Ne Tuesday, October 12, 2010 Doc, I wish we could take away the pain you are feeling right now. But as we all know we can't do that. What we can do is to be here for you to help you through this loss. Please know how much we loved Nancy and we will miss her smile and political views. She was one of a kind. Remember Doc we are here for you and we wouldn't let you do this alone. No matter what time of day or night it maybe we will be there. The only beauty of all of this is that she is now free from all the pain she was going through and she is at peace. Love you much, Tommy and ToniClyde and Dolores Hansen

Fremont, NE Monday, October 11, 2010 Nancy was way to young to pass away. I never saw her without a smile and she even came to my Dad's funeral and said a prayer. Just a kind spirit about her. This world has lost one of the good ones. To her family I say from the bottom of my heart I am so sorry for your loss, you will be in our prayers. I have to say this again. She was just too young.Maxine Poulas and Family
Fremont, NE Monday, October 11, 2010 Richard, and Family, I was truley shocked yesterday when I recieved the call from Shelly H, I feel so bad I didn't know what Nancy was going through. Iwish I could have been there for her, for a strong shoulder. I have been thinking of all the times in my life that Nancy's smile touched and brighten my life. All the laughter and fun shopping trips,eating chocolate,playing pitch,camping,boating,dance recitals,and watching our children grow up. To expierence this with Nancy and you and the kids has been a great joy in my life. Our memories will live on! We all were always going to try to find time in our schedules to get together,but we never seemed to get that done. As we found out life is to short to not stay in contact with each other. My prayers go out to you and the kids,and the Clark family Nancy was a "Jewel" in my life I share in your sorrow. I truely am not ready to say "good bye" we should all find comfort in knowing she is in Gods hands now and probably eating chocolate. All of my love MaxAnthony Feher

West Point, NE Monday, October 11, 2010 Although what moves through you is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, you may not understand why she left this earth so soon, or why she left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you will begin to remember not just that your mother/wife/sister/daughter/grandmother died, but that she lived. And that her life gave you memories too beautiful to forget. My thoughts go out to the Fincham, Clark, and Callaway family.laura oosse
