A Time To Die-- On Monday, October 27,
2003, her soul found everlasting peace and entered the dwelling place of her Heavenly Father.
A Time To Mourn-- Nancy leaves to cherish
her memory: sisters, Mrs. Jo Jean Taylor and Mrs. Valencia White (Marshall); brother, Mr. Robert Strong (Louise); nieces, Farletta Taylor, Asia White and Robin Strong; nephews, Mark Strong and Sandy Strong; aunts, Mrs. Minnie Pritchett and Mrs. Fannie Farley; loving and devoted cousins, Ingrid Reeves, Sallie Clemmons and Alex Smith; a dear friend, Naomia F. White; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
God called you home at the twinkling ofan eye, There was no time to say goodbye. A million times we have cried, I loving you could have saved you You never would have died.
Death is a heartache that no one can heal Memories are something that no one can steal.
Others may forget you are gone, But we will remember, no matter how long.
