Sam and Andi
Andi and I have no adequate words that can make you and your family feel better. What we do have is love. We love you and we loved Nancy. Andi will miss having a reading buddy, and I will miss her quick wit and great laugh. She had an elegance about her and carried herself with confidence and grace. Now she is at home, she has arrived safely at home.
May God hold you and your family close as you navigate the choppy waters of grief.

I’d like to extend my condolences to the Tucker family for the loss of their loyal and devoted matriarch. Nancy was a lovely lady whom I remember as always having a quick wit and a spring in her step. No matter how old we are, we’re never old enough to lose our mother – you have my deepest sympathies.
