She was a person you could count on always,in any circumstance..She was not only like this to me but to everyone she came in contact with,she was very a very humble person who always put herself last.
I met Nancy in 1972. From that day on we grew as friends and became like sisters sharing our young children together and doing the things any mother would do,But when things went out of the ordinary regardless, I knew who I could depend on to make things better:Nancy Roberts,somehow,someway,she would find a way to help!!Some of my happiest days of my life included Nancy, she always made my days brighter,& happier.She could make me laugh when no one else could and we seemed when together to always have fun,even when we did not have the means,we could just sit in each others company and enjoy our conversation,our children,cooking,talking about our daily lives we just always seemed to come out better when we put ourselves in the company of each other, she was the most wonderful human being a person could ever hope to know, she loved cooking,flower-gardening,taking care of her children,grandchildren,husband,friends,even strangers,she was awesome~~ She will be missed by many, But the *Just knowing that I can never,ever call on her again* is devastating to say the least,I will miss her so much,my life will never be as full,as happy,as before I lost this loving friend~May she RIP~
