    Dear Lori, Ann and families, I was sad to hear of your Mom’s passing this week. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I have some of my warmest memories of the times we spent at your home and how sweet and inviting your mom always was to us. You both have those same special traits and your mom will live forever in my heart.

    I knew Nancy when she worked the early shift at Top Star. She was always there making coffee, cleaning up, telling everyone good morning. She knew all the morning people by name. She loved when her family visited or had dinners and parties. She was one of the happiest, most energetic retired people I ever
    knew.
    Sincerely sympathy to the family on the loss of this lovely lady.
