Mommy, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss being able to share moments of conversation. Getting that wisdom that moms give to daughters. You taught me so many things that I didn’t even realize I was learning until I became an adult. You were the best grandmother to your grandchildren and I know they appreciated all you did. I love ❤️ you so much and even though I know I will see you again one day my heart still hurts. Love you mommy.
My Grandparents being there for me the day I got married was one of the best days ever! Lots of love and laughs together. Missing them both.
Gran, it’s been a year since you left this earth, but not a day goes by that your not living forever in my heart. I miss you greatly, and often feel like I lost my best friend, but I hear you often and feel your comfort. Thank you for being such a dynamic woman for me, to me, and with me when I didn’t understand all that you were blessing me with. Love you, Court
Women with her kind of class are very hard to come by. I was truly blessed that our paths in life crossed. My prays and heart felt sympathy goes out to Court, Goldy and the family ❤️❤️❤️
The last 20 years have been filled with memories of Ms. Nancy. From her New Years Eve party when I was a child to her skin and hair advice as an adult. She has been at all our major events, when my Mom became an American citizen, when I graduated High School, and she even helped me fix a bad hair style before prom! I shared her love of all things sweet and I sure do miss her! I’ll always remember the tips and tricks she taught me. I hope to age as gracefully and stay fashionable until my last days as she did.
I befriended Nancy over 20 years when she came to First Baptist of Oviedo, it was an instant connection and we have remained friends up to her last days. Nancy was a mentor, listener, confidante and a great personal friend to me. We had a lot of fun times together from white water rafting to horse back riding, women’s events at church, eating out and of course shopping. I miss Nancy so much but I know that Heaven has gained a wonderful person that I had the privledge of calling friend! Nancy, Happy Heavenly Birthday to you today. Much love & I will never forget you! ❤️🌹🌺
Today, the day God graced the world with your presence. We remember you Ms Nancy!
Today would have been the 87th birthday for my mother, "Matilda", as I often referred to her. 😋 Aside from the God above, there is no greater love than that of a mother and child. As an adult and parent, I have come to fully respect the woman, parent and later friend that she became to me, and that which she tried to instill in myself and siblings, along with other family members and even friends. When we are young and less wise, we tend to fight against many of the ideals our parents may hold true but as I grew and matured, I must admit that I admired the very same. I am grateful to have taken the time to share that with her when she was still here with me. I am overwhelmed by the many well wishes, thoughts, prayers and concerns from family, loved ones and friends. Words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude for such an outpouring of love and respect! While my heart grieves her loss and this is a difficult period in mine and my family's life, I implore everyone to remember my mother/friend/my very first "best girl" as the force she was. Yes! Gone but NEVER forgotten.... NOTHING BUT LOVE MOM!! ❤️

I met Ms. Nancy for the first time briefly in 1985, but the encounter w/her that formed our beginnings (but not our ending) was when Rhonda (her daughter, aka Goldy) got pregnant w/our daughter Whitni in 1989. Mom (as I grew to call her) took that very seriously bc the expectations she had for Rhonda was to thrive in life & to her, I kind of interrupted that plan. So she devised a plan & that was for Rhonda & I to be wedded. Being very young, prideful & immature, that did not fair well w/me & I resisted. I couldn't understand her vision for Goldy & myself, nor the future/security of our first child & daughter's life, as a result we never truly developed a trusting or respected relationship. Over the years I revisited that season in my life, & the perspective I've gain w/respect for Ms. Nancy's vision became clear down the road... all she desired for Rhonda & I was the best for a not-so-desirable situation for two visionless, young adults. :) In our latter years, we were able to converse about those times & I made it very clear that I now understood her vision "then" & therefore implored her forgiveness. She accepted & stated, "Sam, life is too short to hold on to past mistakes bc we all have our share of them"... I said, "Thanks!" From time to time I would call her & we would laugh about the past, present & future concerning many things, but there's one thing she said to me that I'll never forget, after a conversation one evening, I said to her as our call was ending... I LOVE YOU MOM & SHE REPLIED, I LOVE YOU TOO SAM! Our relationship was forever modified! The Word of God says, "The end of a thing is better than its beginning..." Ecclesiastes 7:8a. NKJV. We finished better! To Rhonda, the mother of our now two beloved children, our grands, the family & friends of this brazen, intelligent, humorous, beautiful & one-of-a-kind woman, be very grateful to God for sharing such a treasure to grace your presence. It is bc of Ms. Nancy that our lives will forever be changed & I will always be grateful for what she's given me... A Family! ♥️ Sam
