We were sorry to learn of Nancy's passing. I was executor for Mildred Graff Imig who passed away in 1996 and were going through things we want to preserve. We have rediscovered our admiration for your ancestor Valentin Graff on whose farm we now live and own. We have notes from your NE reunion from Orin and a letter from your father about a watch "Fritz" wanted him to have. I would be happy to visit with you if you so desire. I did a search on Facebook see if I might contact any of you and....
Again, our condolences to you and your family, Lynn and Sharon Swartzendruber, Minier, Illinois 309-824-0317

Thank you for allowing others who were not able to attend Nancy's funeral a chance to view it on the internet.
We express our sincere sympathy to you and your family.
Nancy was my Speech Therapist for five months after my stroke and I thank her for the kindness and patients she had for me. I still refer to the handouts she gave to me. This is six years later.
May your faith in God help you through this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to you Chuck and all of your family. I can hardly believe it. I will always remember Nancy when I lost my children in a car accident. She was always there for me. I know Michael and Jill were there to meet her when she arrived in
Heaven. Our love and prayers to you always.

What can I say Nancy. I am so torn in your loss. We were in each others weddings and you were there for me always in the loss of both of my children, Michael and jill in 1983 and all the years after along with Chuck. I and Terry will be missing you so. Amy and I became close throughout your sickness. Hope we remain so.

All our love to all of you and I will miss you so.

Chuck and Family, we are so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. One of the highlights of 2017 was when I got to talk to Nancy on the phone before Christmas. Over the years, she was more than just a speech therapist for Alice. She also acted as a councilor, giving Alice the guidance she needed to cope with her stroke. There are so many things we thank her for, they are to numerous to mention. I was completely "flattened" when I heard of her passing. There is one thing that comes to mind during times like this: This world with all it's trials and successes is nothing more than the basement apartment we have to live in before we get our mansion in heaven. Jesus has made sure that Nancy has a Mansion in Heaven already prepared for her. God Bless you all.

I will always miss running into Nancy at the hospital and having our talks about how "our girls" are doing. Many years of watching them growing into beautiful women and mothers. Nancy was always cheerful no matter what was going on in her life. I enjoyed taking care of her. She was a very special lady and i will miss her as I know you will also. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Chuck and Girls. We are so sorry for your loss. Nancy was such a vibrant and helpful person. Her determination and fight was so like her. She always talked of family and her girls she was so proud of all of you. She beamed when talking of each of her grandchildren. She was a special Grandma. May God give you strength and comfort. Cherish each fond memory as they will carry you through in those cloudy days. Know that your angel will be waiting one day it is just for a little while not a forever but when. Hugs and Prayers

Nancy was my bright spot many a day while I was taking care of a young guy. She helped me when I was down, kept me pushing ahead and taught me so much. We had many a laugh, shared a few tears and some great talks.
She spoke often of family, she loved her girls dearly.
I will forever be grateful for the time I spent with Nancy. She was a great gal.
Prayers and love to her family.

Chuck and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife, mother, and grandmother..I may barely have gotten to know her through a brief few years, but Nancy shined her light to anyone who crossed her path. She shined it many many times in Matt's life over the year's that will always be considered timeless. We love you and send our thoughts, love, and prayers.
