TO the family of Nancy Eckert, I was saddened to hear of Nancys passing, but wanted to let you know that you all are in my prayers. I have known Nancy for over 35 years, she helped me find my first job..and I have been priviledged to have been part of her caregiving team at HCR. I always enjoyed talking to Nancy and taking care of her, and will remember her well. May the Lord bring you all peace in your heart and comfort as only he can.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of my dear friend and your Mother, Nancy. I, too, have just lost my dear Mama...but the valuable lessons and love they gave all of us over the years will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
