Uncle Phillip & Steve & family, We send our condolences, love and prayers in the passing of Aunt Nancy. I can hear her voice, laughter & chatting (I definitely take a bit after her!) May your memories bring comfort. I have fond memories from early days into adulthood of her. So sorry for your loss. Tom & Kathy

Go rest high on that mountain, Aunt Nancy. You're work on earth is done.

Phillip & family, Bruce & I are so sorry for your loss. We did not know Nancy well but loved her son, Tom. He was the best brother-in-law!! It took remarkable parents to raise such a fine person. I regret our time together as families was so short. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

As one of the 'neighbor kids', you will be missed so much! I have such wonderful memories of baking and going shopping with you when I was little and you wanted a daughter for the day. I'm guessing the boys were happy I went so none of them would need too. We've shared many good times and one awful time. I'm sure Rick, Tom, your brother and sisters were there to greet you Wednesday night. We'll take care of Phillip for now. Rest well Nancy.

Thinking of the Flegel family. Missing my old neighborhood. Knowing that Nancy is in the best hands ever now! Miss you, Phillip!
