Paula and I wish to extend our condolences and express our thankfulness for Nancy. Her life and her ministry were a blessing to many. We remember her dedication to the people of Bolivia and Peru as she served on several important missionary teams there. Her testimony to us encourages us to continue on in faithfulness. Our prayers are with Larry and the family. God bless you.

My dear Larry!
I met you and Nancy many years ago!
I enjoyed her Bible studies! One time when we finished to study Beth Moore's book, she had the idea to send one letter to tell her our opinion about her book. My surprised was tremendous when few weeks later, Beth Moore sent me a letter! Wow! It was a really surprise!
Nancy was a friend, counselor ! For you and Nancy , we, interpreters were very important! Y'all took care of our spiritual life too!
THANK YOU, NANCY for your love, patience, faithfulness, for being a GREAT MISSIONARY AND A GREAT JESUS DISCIPLE! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, and I'll miss y'all !

Hi everyone, I'm Fernando from Lima, Peru. I was deeply sad to hear these news. Nancy was a huge blessing in my life. She led our Bible study group and gave many of us the opportunity to travel as interpreters with mission groups in Peru. She has truly made an impact in soooo many people's lives - kind, selfless, patient, loving, caring, encouraging, etc. That's the type of woman she was. Even though I'm sad, I praise and thank God for the hope we have to see her again. Be encouraged by that because it is truly our blessed hope! Many of her friends here in Peru are praying for comfort and peace for all her family. We love you, Nancy!

I knew Nancy's parents almost 50 years ago, so I was not surprised to learn that all the family loved and served the Lord. Nancy became an inspiration to me after I met her as you folks were going to South America. She will be greatly missed. I pray God's blessing on all of you.
