My heart goes out to you all. Nanci will be missed so very much, and she will be remembered so very fondly…
My thoughts are with the family. I didn’t personally know Nanci, but she sounds like she was a good and interesting person and I wish I could have known her. I hope this scripture at Revelation 21:3,4 brings you comfort knowing that God will end death and we will see our loved ones in the future. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
