Dear family, it is so painful to lose a loved one to death and I hope that these promises will bring solace as you endure this time of sorrow. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Nancy will be missed. Peace be with you all.
