    Nancy was a beautiful lady. I feel so blessed to have met her. We met several years ago when she requested communion from her parish, Corpus Christi. It was such a privilege to bring Jesus to her & she was so grateful. We had long talks about our children, the early years , & our nursing professions which we had in common. Nan, may you rest in peace in the living arms of our savior.

    Leo and Nan facilitated our marriage prep classes prior to us getting married in 1991. I think it says a lot about Nan when I remember her and the role she and John played in our happy marriage 32 years later. She took five couples into her home for six Sunday evenings and served as a tremendous role model of a marriage partner. Thoughts, prayers and positive energy goes out to her children, extended family and many friends. May Nan be as free as the wind, as soft as sheep’s wool, as straight as an arrow that she may journey into the heart of God.
