Mr. Robert,

Virgil and I were so sad to hear about Mrs. Nancy. She was such an awesome person, she was an inspiration in my life. If anyone was ready to meet Jesus it was her. I know this is not alot of comfort but to know she is spending Christmas with Jesus in Heaven is an awesome thought. I know we have been out of touch over the years and my regret is that we did not make the time to visit. May God's love, grace, mercy, and His great strength be with you during this time comforting your heart. We loved you both and we were blessed having you in our lives we thought of you both often. God Bless You.

Virgil, Jenelle, & Breyanna Barnes

My memories of Nancy are many, but the most precious to me were the times I visited with her, either at home, on the phone, or especially beside her at the family night supper table on Wednesday nights. She was a very special friend. I will miss her. My prayers are with Robert, Lisa & the whole family. God Bless you all. Donna

Mr. Robert and Lisa,
My family and I are so sorry for you loss. Mrs. Neal always treated me with kindness and always asked about my daughter Hayley. If there is anything that we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask day or night. Our family will be praying for God to lift and encourage you in this time of need. We serve a great and mighty God.
Tim Vanier and Family
