We will miss Nancy so very much. She was such a special lady. She loved her children, grandchildren and her four legged children very much. I will always remember how kind she was to everyone. I will also smile when I think of the “lipstick kisses” she gave to her dogs. God Bless you Nancy! Love Tami

I had the wonderful privilege to call this wonderful woman "Mom" and have her be a part of my life. We remained in touch through the years with letters and cards which lit up my life and touched me in ways only she could do. I will miss her deeply and my heart goes out to everyone who loved her and know she will be greatly missed.
Love you always,
Joan

To Her Children and Friends,

Nancy Pappas was first and always a lady. Smart, funny, and regal. I am sorry for your very great loss, and blessed to have known your Mom at the shelter. She lit up every room and glows still.

Dear Aunt Nancy,
It's hard to believe that I've lost my "Pen Pal". Your letters meant so much to me, and it was wonderful to be able to sit down and write you a long letter about anything. You have always shown such love and concern for your nieces. I hope you know how special your relationship was to me, and how much you will always be missed.
My love always, Diane

Aunt Nancy,
We wish we had the chance to visit you in Colorado and meet your very special four-legged friends. We will miss seeing them with Santa this year. Thank you for all of the wonderful cards and photos over the years. We appreciate all of your long distance help with school projects, too!

I will miss Nancy very much. As first cousins, we had year round correspondence which was very enjoyable.
She is really the only 1st cousin I have stayed in regular contact with over the years so she was always very special to me.
I admired her ability to live alone and all that that entails.
I miss you,
with love,
Irmarie
