Dearest Larry and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. It has been such a long, hard journey for you. I know Nancy is back to being the Nancy you knew and loved. I hope you can bring up all the wonderful memories. I am sorry that we will be out of the country at the time of the memorial, or we would have definitely been there. We wish you peace of mind and much love. Russ and Sheri Haynes

Dear Larry, Nicole and Ben. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Nancy was truly one of the kindest women I´ve ever known. She had no greater love than that for her family. She will be so missed. God got one of the best!

My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Baughman family. To Nicole and Benjamin, please know how sad it was for me to learn of your mother´s passing. May you find peace and comfort in the care you provided. Your mom was a kind, compassionate, loving soul who often assisted me in my classroom. She was a sweetheart who easily drew children to her. She was a good listener of all their stories. She was always loving and patient and found different ways to assist and motivate them in their writing. When they shared their stories with her, you couldn´t help but notice the smile she gave them, and the twinkle in her eye. I can still see her as Washington´s Birthday approached, bringing in cherry pies, demonstrating the rolling out of the dough, and the finished crust. She included cherry filling, and when someone asked about the cherry pits, she was quick to explain they must never be included in the filling. "Imagine biting into a cherry pit; your parents wouldn´t be very happy to learn you had broken a tooth on one of Mrs. Baughman´s pies." Your mom was fun and positive willing to help with whatever task was presented. I will always remember your mom with love for that is what she was-a true example of kindness and love. I know all the wonderful memories she left for you are yours forever-her laughter, words of wisdom, love and memories you created with each other. Take comfort knowing how much she was loved and how much she will be missed.

When I was a teenager struggling through life, Nancy´s warmth for our visits helped me become a better adult. Sorry she is gone in body, never will be gone in spirit.
Sorry we cannot make it to memorial service, we have previous plans to be out of country.
God bless your family.
