To the Chappell Family:
Praying that the Lord will comfort you with His peace...Surround you with His love...and encourage you with His presence. As we start our tomorrows without Nancy, there will be sadness in our hearts but we have comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering with sickness and pain. She is resting in God's perfect peace.

I just wanted to say how much Chris and I appreciated Nancy and Bob for taking us under their wings when we moved into Catherine Place almost 12 years ago. They immediately befriended our young family and made us feel welcome. Our kids thought of "Mrs. Nancy and Mr. Bob" as another set of grandparents. From visiting with them over a cup of coffee, a card game, or sitting around in lawn chairs in front of their house to borrowing a cup of sugar or something, we were always greeted with an open door, a warm smile, and much laughter. Although we have not been able to remain as close the last few years because of teenagers and their busy schedules, I've always known they were there if I needed them and hopefully they felt the same. Nancy will be greatly missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Nancy was one-in-a-million. To know her was delightful. To be called a friend was a journey filled with love, laughter, passion, truth, fearsome loyalty, surprises, stimulating conversation and thoughtful kindnesses. She touched many lives and leaves us a legacy of love, hope and faith. Nancy cannot be forgotten and she will always be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Carole
