Dear Walker My sincere condolences to you and your family. It was a delight to serve with Nancy as she shared her gift of music, boundless energy and warm smile not only with the children in Sunday School but with all those around her. A life well lived and a legacy to emulate.

Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to you Walker, and your family. Nancy was a musical gift sent from Heaven, and now she is back there, ready to teach the Angels how to love the music. The memories of her, when she taught the students at Metcalfe, including my son, who adored her, those memories will never fade. She was a joy to work with, on so many levels. One of the warmest, nicest, caring people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Greatly loved and greatly missed. My heart goes out to all of you, on this very sad day. Ellen and Charles McLeod, her Little Professor.
Dear Walker and family, We are deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. She will always be remembered for her passion and musical talent; her cheerfulness and enthusiasm in life. Our earthly world has sustained a terrible loss, but heaven has gained a wonderful Christian woman who can now join the heavenly choir in praising our beloved Saviour. May God be with each of you and bring you His healing and strength always! Our prayers and condolences are with you all at this most difficult time. With love, Erma, Rich and family
Walker and family and Johnson family: Our entire family has such wonderful memories of Nancy. From being an older sister to our best friends, to a wonderful music teacher to our children - she ALWAYS had a smile and kind word! Our deepest sympathy to all - but there is a wonderful reunion in Heaven with Papa, Mama, Gordon, Joanne and Verna. Glenn, Lynda and family

Dear Walker- my sincere condolences on your loss. I remember Nancy as a warm, friendly person. She was always so nice to me. Sincere sympathy, Barb Landrey ( Medway 1969 to 1972 )
Dear Walker and Family: How much we all will miss Nancy's warm smile and loving encouragement! Of course, your loss is so much greater than the rest of us can even imagine and words of comfort seem hollow just now. Nevertheless, I pray that someday you will experience some release from the pain and feel God's comforting arms around you.
My thoughts are with you today and for the days to come. You will miss her but remember she is at rest now and in a wonderful place. Joan Robson
Walker and Family and All the Johnson Family Nancy and I grew up across the road from each other just south of Kerwood. I have a lot of wonderful memories of the whole family. Papa and Mama Johnson were great role models. She was just a few months older than me. I can still see her playing the piano and organ in the Kerwood United Church. Her musical talents were a gift from above.. The music just flowed from her. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. My sincere condolences to all on your loss. My thoughts are with you all. Lloyd and Marie Shea
