  1. Dear Baldwin family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. Nancy was a wonderful person, beautiful both inside and out. I will always look back on my teenage years fondly because she was such a big part of that time. She was funny, compassionate and above all loved her family and her pets.

    Sending you love and hugs, may your memories of her see you through these sorrowful days. Holding you close in prayer. Thanks be to God for Nancy ❤️ and her wonderful family.

Remember all the memories that where made with you and you being the first Grand Parent to get a switch after me for being mean to the cats. Love you very much and know one day we all will be together again.

  7. I will remember the woman the people that knew and loved you most told me you were. A few stories a lot of laughs on my part. Thank you for one of the biggest parts of my still beating heart. Yours is now at rest. Rest in peace until next we meet. Your departing is bittersweet. So today we all do mourn, and will all rise above this storm and wish you well on your journey home. You were worth every tear we all cry in your honor. The Lord bless you and keep you.
