  8. You are all in our prayers! Nancy was a beautiful woman, inside and out. She is dancing with the angels and having a banquet at the Kings table. It is your pain and grief we pray for. Allow Jesus to carry you through the moments, days, weeks, months and years ahead. Your grief is a refection of your love for her.
    May God surround you with His peace.
    Mark and Nancy Smith

  9. She was absolutely amazing. As I reflect back on the childhood years spent storming in and out of the house I am now aware that she, modeled to me, what being a great mom is all about. We don’t realize it at the time but as adults we look back on the people that made us who we are today.
    For this I am thankful.

    I remember vacations in Florida, chocolate chip cookies after school, her presence at all of our school activities, and her ability to keep the neighborhood boys from killing me! She always had a smile and a hug and these are treasures. I know that in the recent days when we ran into each other the conversation always shifted to her kids and grandkids. She was so proud of each of them and a had a sparkle in her eye as she told me what they were up to. Now, she has a special place in heaven but has left her mark upon our hearts.

  10. Many memories flooded back to me when I heard that Nancy had passed…. She and Vic were surrogate parents to me while in college. I was homesick and they treated me like family when Kel would bring me home with her on weekends. My heart goes out to the whole family at this devastating loss Lots of Love! Bonnie (Burns) Edder

  11. Don and Paula–Seems like just yesterday we were all involved in activities at the church as kids. I have always thought of the Rennard kids as friends and cherish the memories that include you. Accept my sincere sympathy . Rebecca (Shuffstall) Brown, LaMirada, CA

  12. Diane Rennard Lawson and Joyce Rennard Kuberry of Titusville and cousins of Nancy send condolences to her family. So sorry.
