Guestbook

  1. I didn’t have the privilege to know Nancy, but I have had the honor of becoming friends with her daughter, Debbie, over the past couple of years. Debbie, your Auburn ladies love you so very dearly. You are such a wonderful, honest, caring woman. And if that is a reflection on your mother, as I’m sure it is, she did a beautiful job. We are so incredibly grateful for the life she brought into the world in you. Sending so many prayers and virtual hugs this weekend. I pray you know how surrounded you are with our support. Holding your hand, sis.

  2. Nancy was a great Aunt and will be missed by all of us. I remember when I was little she would take all 3 of us girls when her brother would take a vacation. We spent a lot of time with our cousins in are younger yrs. Sincerely Donna Pyle. RHONDA PYLE GIVES HER TRIBUTE AS WELL
