In a Better Place

Nancy Ann Smith Tufts
September 20, 1952 - November 14, 2010

Nancy's journey ended at 5:00 a.m this morning, Sunday, November 14, 2010. She left us peacefully, surrounded by those who loved her, and is now in the loving hands of God. This quotation was found on Nancy's computer last night:

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".

Nancy...you did...and no one you touched will ever be quite the same because of you. Love you forever...

  3. 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.

    Rest in peace my friend.
    You will be in my heart always.

    Love, BB

  5. We are so sorry to hear of your loss! Nancy was a wonderful lady and friend. The last time I saw her was at Erin's surprise birthday party, and as usual, she was the life of the party! She had so much fun, waiting for Erin's arrival, decorating, and playing with the little ones, you could hear her laugh everywhere! She will be missed. We are sending along our love and prayers for all of you! Wally and Mitzi Coran

You all created so many wonderful memories. Hang on to those as you grieve for Nancy. She is your special angel now watching over each of you. Nancy you will be missed!!!
