Nancy has been and always will be my forever friend. Growing up neighbors, there was just 2 houses between her place and mine and a total of 10 girls in those 4 houses. With just 6 months between us, there was never a time we were not together...where you saw one...you saw the other. We wore a path in everyone's back yard, often walking past Grandpa Oyler's sunflower garden to play together. During those wonderful times of fun and imagination, we became the "Dare Sisters Trapeze Artists" as we hung upside down on her swing set, we listened to The Monkees and The Beatles as we read comic books from her large collection and spent endless hours playing board games and learning how to play cribbage.

I was born with cerebral palsy, so when Nancy was diagnosed with diabetes, we bonded even more closely over our physical /medical challenges. We made a pact that we would always take care of and be there for each other. When she got married, she asked me to fly to California to stand up with her at the wedding. It was one of the best trips ever! Though miles apart, our friendship never wavered.

As we grew older and the challenges got tougher...losing parents...broken relationships...lost jobs...poorer health...she promised to be my legs and I vowed to be her eyes...we could still laugh at ourselves even through our tears.
As the pandemic separated us, those phone calls became more precious. Our last communication was on her birthday.If she could not go out, she loved meals brought in, diet 7-up, crunchy Cheetos and peanut M&M's!!

Our friendship was like the heart necklace you bought with 2 halves, where each friend wears half the heart. For the heart to be complete, you needed both parts together.
Nancy, I am glad you are free of pain and suffering. I pray you will hold onto your heart until we meet again and our hearts are complete once more.

I love you,my forever friend...rest in peace.

Words cannot express what a loss you are to the family but heaven’s gain. You have had so much pain in your life but you are now pain free & in God’s loving arms & with your sister Elaine. Though I haven’t seen you in a long time due to Covid restrictions you’ve been in my thoughts & prayers. I pray your son & granddaughter will find peace & comfort remembering those wonderful memories.
