She and I talked so many times about how Forest was and always will be “our home”. My heart is broken. She will be buried in a red dress!!!!
It’s only fitting she’s being buried in a red dress. Miss Nancy as we called her loved Forest and loved the Bearcats. She will always hold a special place in older Bearcats heart.
Marcia, the Bearcats are all saddened to hear about Miss Nancy. She was a gracious, intelligent, caring lady. She was loved by us all. She loved Coach, her children and her family and friends. She will be sorely missed! Thank you for getting her to Forest for our get togethers. You were a wonderful niece to her and she dearly loved you.
