I knew her dad real well and actually rode his city bus between West Helena and Helena with his nephew Richard Benson many times.

Losing another classmate is so heartbreaking, especially one as sweet and kind as Nancy was. She always had a smile on her face and a soft, gentle word for everyone. Heaven’s gain is certainly our loss. Many prayers for her family and friends.

NANCY WAS SUCH AN AMAZING WOMAN. WE WERE FRIENDS IN SCHOOL AND THAT CONTINUED AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. I ALWAYS LOVED HER LAUGH. I CAN REMEMBER ONE DAY IN HIGH SCHOOL IN OUR PE CLASS A BIRD FLEW IN THE GYM AND POOPED IN HER HAIR. SHE HAD TO GO HOME AND WASH HER HAIR. WE GOT THE BIGGEST KICK OUT OF THAT AND SO DID SHE. SHE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. SHE WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED.

Nancy was my special friend from Sunday school at First Assembly in West Helena through graduation at Central High School. We shared many wonderful moments together over the years. She was always a delight to be around. May God's comfort and peace be with the family and many friends who share in this sorrowful time. I will never forget your sweet smile.

My beautiful, precious cousin, Nancy. I feel so lost without her. She was my faithful telephone buddy. We spent a many hour laughing & talking. When I was feeling down, she could lift me up every time. We loved talking about Heaven & our loved ones that are in heaven, up until the very end. Two days before she passed, she sent me a YouTube video about Heaven. I have cried a lot, but I take comfort in knowing she is with Jesus. I look so forward to seeing her one day soon. Until then, I will remember our good times tat we shared. Because of health reasons, we won’t be able to attend. I hate that, but I know she would understand. I will be there in spirit.
I love you dear cousin.
