So sorry for your loss. Aunt Nancy was a kind loving person. I still have one of her drawings she gave to me years ago, pretty pink flowers. She will be missed.

Mrs. Iler was an amazing Christian woman, wife, and mother. Her smile was beautiful and so contagious. She (and Mr. Iler) ALWAYS welcomed me into their home. I spent a lot of time with them. Whenever I visited Marquette Mall, which was very often, and usually with her daughter, my best friend Kathy, J.C. Penny was always my 1st stop, to see her. It was an honor to know her. She will be missed. Knowing she is in eternal life with Mr. Iler and the Lord now, brings me joy and peace.
It is a very difficult time for her family. They are all in my thoughts and prayers.
