On behalf of our family, thank you for visiting this memorial.  


 We are so blessed to have had a lifetime of memories with our beloved mother, friend, grandmother and wife. Being part of a life like hers was a gift we will all cherish. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. So, we invite you to share your own treasures with us here.


To our beautiful Nancy,
Here in these memories of you, is our chance to say thank you, for the way you brightened our lives and our hearts.
You are missed and you are truly loved.

Can’t believe it’s been 6 years…. You know we talk everyday as soon as I wake up and I know you hear me. Things often remind us of you. We watched a movie today and Cianna was crying and I said to her you ok and she said this part in the movie reminder her of you. I love that my kids got to know you. Have a beautiful bday in heaven

I didn't know Nancy personally but just wanted to share a message of encouragement. From what I read it seems that she had a very full life and was surrounded by those who loved her. You can take comfort in knowing that she's now at rest. We look forward to the time when Revelation 21:3,4 will be fulfilled when God will wipe out every tear from people's eyes and death will be no more. Until that time deepest sympathy-- Julia

I recently received an amazing memorial gift from my friend Carey Laufer, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I feel the best way is to simply quote the words from the card and post the picture of the card for all to see.

With Heartfelt Sympathy

Dear Troy Lerew,

In Loving memory of Nancy Lou Lauer, a tree will be planted in Israel,

Let your memories be the rain that will nurture the tree to grow in honor of loved one,

With caring thoughts:

Sweet Nancy, who called everyone 'honey' will be missed.
I learned many things from her, just my watching.
An awesome cook, her carrot cake was second to none. In over 30 years I've found none better!
Rest in peace, dear one.  Sincere sympathy to Jack and the family.
Take care and much love from 'PB'. (Diane Halloran)

We wish we could've met your Mom, Troy. She obviously was a wonderful woman because she raised a wonderful son.
The words below are from my Mom's memorial and hope they will help you in the days and weeks ahead.
    Those we love don't go away.
    They walk beside us every day.
    Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Sending love and prayers to you and your family.

"Mothers are like buttons, they hold everything together" 

I'm sure your family misses her dearly, but isn't it a blessing you had someone to love, and love you for so many years. Remember no farewell is ever goodbye, it is simply, until we meet again.

There’s a special place in all of our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You will continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. We are so sorry for your loss.

Received this the other day and thought it was worth sharing

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hallow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." Miss you Nan... See you again someday. Please watch over me and my family up there as you always did here on earth.

NAN- There will never be a day I won't think of you! You are ALWAYS on my mind and it seems as time passes that much of my sadness is when I'm simply driving and know thats when I would talk with you often. I think it says alot about the imprint you left on me when I moved from York to Denver at the young age of 12. By this time you and Pap had provided me many things about life and being a good person in general. I translate alot of my childhood teachings from you with my children and mention you almost on the daily. One more thing- I check on Pap at least 3 days a week sometimes more and he stays pretty busy, but like me I know he sure does miss you especially in those evening hours when you guys would be in the den watching tv. So Nan, continue to stay in touch as I know you do. 

Love you always, Chaddy

Mom's Love for Music

Moon Over Ireland - My Wild Irish Rose






Mom loved music. She could listen to Country, anything from Elvis Presley, and other uplifting music all day long. My Wild Irish Rose had a very special place in her heart, a favorite shared by her and her Mother.

Original Song

Music & Lyrics (1899)
