The Celebration of Nancy's Life

Nancy passed away on July 25, in our Canal Winchester Home. The immediate family was close by so we all got to say our final goodbye's. Many of our friends could not attend the "Celebration of Life" service and suggested I post on Facebook and our family blog.  For more pictures and comments please visit our Facebook page by clicking HERE 

There are a total of 90 pictures but had trouble getting them all loaded on this blog. That is the reason for the Facebook link.
