Hi Paul,

I miss Nancy so much, she was such a great friend to me.  I still listen to her last voice mail message she left me. It has her laugh on it, and makes me smile and I get comfort from listening to it..

Sincerely,

Linda Dougan

I am so sad not to be able to talk to Nancy, we used laugh and cry about so many things. I bet you can still hear her laugh, as it was one of a kind! I miss her every day! Hugs, Linda

Paul,

I am so sad for your loss. I recall those days at Wyle. Nancy was everyone's favorite. She had wonderful spark and humor and just that easy but fun way of relating to everyone. Heck she ran the place.

Dean S. notified me.

I have been out of country much of the last 20 years, but I recall with great fondness, both you and Nancy and what a great couple you were starting out. I read with great heart how you shared an abundant life together.

All support to you.

All our friend, John Bacon, just passed a few days ago. I was able to spend a couple of days with him in the week or two before he passed suddenly. I simply am not sure what to do!

Best to you, all comfort and support.

Jeff Fallon

Paul, Lauren, Allie and Logan - We are so sorry for your loss of your sweet wife and Mama.  We hope you can find comfort in the amazing memories you had with her over the years.  Love to you all.  - The Banks Family

I couldn’t ask for a better big sister. Over the years we laughed, cried and fought but we always made up because we loved each other. I was thinking of the christmases we had at mom and dads and all the fun we had with everyone home.  Her passing breaks my heart. I will miss her and my face time chats. I wish I could be there with all of you to hug you and help during this sorrowful time. Know we love you and will keep you in our prayers.  Sending love to you and the the family.

Jeff and I are deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's passing, and we send all of you our deepest sympathy. Nancy's laugh and joyful spirit are something we always enjoyed. Her beautiful smile, and wonderful sense of humor always lit up the room. We're certain her smile, joy and laughter will live on in all of you. With our love and support, Roxane and Jeff Apple

I will always cherish the memories I have of Nancy at the Burgess house. From early (I mean EARLY) morning gymnastics hair braiding sessions to hours upon hours of gymnastics meets, and fantastic birthday parties, Nancy was dedicated to her children and their passions. What great memories to hold on to!

Rest in paradise, Nancy. 

Paul and loving family, we are so very sorry for Nancy’s passing. We send our most heartfelt condolences and prayers for peace and strength during these most difficult moments. May you knowing that she is no longer suffering with pain bring you some sort of peace and comfort. 🙏🏼 Please let us know if we can help in any way. 

Laura, Miguel and the rest of the Cerezo Family 💕🙏🏼

I will never forget the first time we met Nancy and Paul. Allie and our son Miguel had made arrangements for both families to have dinner together after their graduation so that we could finally meet each other in person. They were both graduating from CU Boulder and wanted both families to celebrate the momentous occasion all together. Nancy and Paul were both good looking,  smart, nice, personable, and we shared some good laughs during dinner. I could tell then that they were amazing parents and that gave me further peace of mind that Allie was part of a great family with good values and that my son Miguel had indeed set his sights on a wonderful young lady! Great job Nancy and Paul! 💕💕

Our family will never forget how much we enjoyed playing trivia games remotely via the smart tv with Nancy, Paul, & Logan. Nancy was great fun and very competitive. Each Christmas Nancy and I would gift each other a few new Christmas ornaments to add to our holiday trees. She would also arrange to have the most amazing toffee delivered to our home in CA. 

Another wonderful memory I have of Nancy is seeing her as she FaceTimed with Allie as Allie prepared her holiday meals for our family in her kitchen in Camarillo, CA. Nancy helped guide Allie with whatever questions came up while preparing some of Nancy’s delicious recipes. Nancy was an amazing cook! Fortunately, Allie is working on a cookbook compiled with her mom’s recipes. 

It was really heartwarming to see the special mother-daughter bond between Nancy and Allie through that and their many other interactions that I witnessed throughout the years. 💕 

Nancy it brings us comfort knowing you are no longer in pain and are now resting in peace. YOU are already missed and YOU will forever be missed! YOU will forever be loved and YOUR memories will live on in us. May your spunky, fun loving soul live on forever! 🙏🏼 💕

I am absolutely heartbroken to hear about the loss of Nancy. She was a beautiful soul. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling. I hope you are able to find comfort, by being immersed, with the love and support from family and friends, to get you through these difficult times. In the midst, of your sorrow may you find comfort in all the joyful memories of your full and rich life with Nancy. Words cannot express the sorrow and sadness I feel. I have so many fond memories and feel blessed by the time with her and her friendship. You are in my thoughts. You have my heart’s deepest sympathies.

Please know how sorry we are for your loss.  We will see you on Friday.

Our sincerest sympathy for your loss. May you find comfort in the many great memories all of you shared with Nancy.  You are in our thoughts.    ~ Joe & Lisa

Paul and family.  I'm so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The photos that are posted of Nancy are beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss, we we’re close friends from age 4 to 4th grade,  if I can remember.  I went to a Catholic school and Nancy  went to Columbia station, Copopa elementary. Her and her family lived across the street from us on Garden dr. Columbia Station, Ohio.  Her and her family moved, I think, Youngstown, Ohio.  Our families used to  visit each other and as we grew up, it slowly stopped.  Periodically,  in high school and in our early 20’s we would call each other.  In our early 50’s I found her on Facebook through her mother’s Facebook account and we FaceTimed, the “wonders of technology.”  We both text each other and asked about each other’s lives.  I have pictures of us when we we’re kids, I have them somewhere in my home, once I find them I will post them. I am so sad this happened to her, 61 is still young.  My husband, Chris, has stage 4 lung cancer and I know how hard it is to watch someone suffer.  She is in peace now and I pray for her and her  family.  Nancy was a very nice person and I will never forget her. ❤️🙏

Dear Paul and wonderful family,

Paul, I am your cousin Stan.  We have only talked a time or two since we were kids.  Lauren, Allie, and Logan, you may have known my parents, Uncle Don and Aunt Dorothy in Limon.   This is one of those times that we write a message and want to start by saying I wish it wasn't just at times of loss that we are getting in touch.   I send my love and wishes of strength for you for the loss of Nancy.  Though we never met, I have looked many times at the photos you shared here and feel like I have known her and her special family.  Clearly she was a light to all and a treasure in your life and all she touched.   I and my family send our love to all of you.

I am heartbroken and in pain when hearing the news of Nancy's passing. Nancy and I have been friends for so many years, going back to the Wyle days. I will miss Nancy tremendously. Paul, I know you will find comfort

with the greatest memories and the love of your family

The Salama family had just moved in next door to Nancy's daughter and Son in law Mike.  We were hosting a house warming party and Nancy was enjoying a nice fire in a chiminea with her kids. Loud, obnoxious and having had consumed a reasonable amount of libations I was screaming from my hot tub telling the neighbors to get their <insert foul language here> over and join our party. Imagine how mortified I was when I realized they were just trying to enjoy a nice evening with their mother. Fast forward to the following year as our families got closer and Lauren was pregnant with her first daughter Addison and I got to meet Nancy the first time officially at Lauren's baby shower. Fully embarrassed I made a point to apologize to Nancy for our first encounter. She simply laughed and told me she thought it was hilarious and repeated my expletives saying they should have come over, I immediately knew where Lauren got all of her fun genes from. Birthday parties and other miscellaneous celebrations over the times we lived next door and even beyond then I grew to view Nancy and her wonderful kids (Lauren, Allie and Logan) like an extended family of my own. I know how much family means to all of them and that was because of how Nancy (and Paul) raised them. She will be missed dearly and I look forward to a day when we all sit around a fire again. I will think fondly of her every time I see the over the top crafty items at birthday parties and other celebrations knowing that is her essence surrounding us. 

I'll forever be thankful for Nancy because she gave me one of my best and longest friends — Allie! 

Nancy (and her INCREDIBLE  pantry) were a staple for me throughout my entire childhood. She threw some of the most creative and thoughtful birthday parties. From Hawaiian Luau-themed (with literally all of the accessories! Grass skirts, coconut bikinis) to an unforgettable DIY build-a-bear party where each of us was given a hand-sewn bear to stuff and decorate, she made so many things uniquely special. 

In High School, Nancy constantly fed dozens of us. Made sure she always had quesadilla supplies in the fridge and noted the things we each said we liked and added them to her grocery list. The minute we could leave campus, it was straight to the Burgess house for lunch. 

I will miss her dry and quick wit, calling us all out when she could on our horrible jokes. I once accidentally called her Pam and without hesitation "Shelby, I have known you since you were three, I know you didn't just call me Pam." 

RIP Pam, I'll be thinking of you. Thanks for making your house a home for me <3

Blessings to all that were lucky enough to be a part of Nancy's life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul and your family, during this difficult time.  May you find comfort in all of the lovely memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul, and your family.
