I know you've been praying but it's not working.
My cancer is terminal and I don't have much time left. The board might stay open with my brother to help transfer this board to any oversear that wants the authority.
If you're interested in running this board, maybe as co-admins please include your name in this thread and we'll work on it.
It's been a pleasure being friends with you.
And sorry I never got to meet the "CYH."

Oh, Nancy - this is so hard to hear....
You are an inspiration and a friend to us all, and we owe you a great debt of gratitude. I shall continue to pray as you face this.

Nancy, Don't give up. My aunt is stage 4 and has it in her liver. She's done very well for over a year now. You will continue to be in my thoughts. Stay strong, and positive. Keep fighting the good fight. You CAN do it!

Nancy, I'll never stop praying for you. Because of you I have gotten to meet so many great people including mark at the Sacramento concert in 2006. You've helped create something no one else could. Chicks Rock you rule! Love you! Emily

Oh Nancy, I am so sorry to hear this news. I will continue to pray for you. You've meant so much to all of us. Your kindness and patience have shown through with every word you've posted. We all love you. You are part of "our" family.
I'm holding on to the hope that the girls remember our conversation on July 1st. They need to get on with a web chat and, hopefully, say a special word about you, our dear friend. (They did remember you and had shown concern for you)
Love and Light... Michaela (Dee)

NANCY---
"Without You"..It's SO HARD to imagine! For several years now you have gave us an outlet to express ourselves and share our stories and inspirations we get from listening and watching the Chicks! I'll never forget telling Martie that I was part of this board and they all looked at me outside the David Letterman studio with such a happy heart. We are the fans that never left them! You are one amazing lady to have started such a great team of amazing fans who care about them and the other board members too. Terminal doesn't mean it's over yet! Keep your spirits high and know WE are your fans!!!
I hope you enjoy the remaining moments with your family and friends and listen to all the DCX and CYH music you can. I hope and pray that you are not in pain! YOU WILL BE MISSED!!
BIG BEN HUGS COMING YOUR WAY!!
MUCH LOVE, Benjamin Hamilton

Well said Ben. I would have never met "Kent" in Sacramento in 2006 without Nancy's board. I've always called this place a safe place for real dixie chicks fans.

Nancy, My heart aches for you. You have been the catalyst for so many of us making so many good friends. I have tears in my eyes as I type. Although we never met in person I feel like you are a friend. I will continue my prayers for you.

I will always remember your story of your meet and greet that Junichi was so much involved with. my arms are sending you my love and my hugs... You have been a very special friend to me..

This is indeed sad to hear, Nancy. I just hope the time you have left is not too painful; and I want you to know that it has been a pleasure for me to have been a member of the forum for these last four years.
With respect to being a co-administrator here, I would like to, but I'm afraid that similar responsibilities on other forums of this kind would make that very difficult. I'm sure other members can take up the position well enough, though.
All the best to you and your family.
Erik

I have nothing to add that has not been said already here in this thread, and much more eloquently as well.
But I must say that YOU have brought many dear, dear people together, in addition to this great site as a representation of your love of the Chicks.
You have allowed many great people to meet, become friends, argue among themselves, and enjoy a mutual love/enjoyment. And you did it with class and fairness, even when you struggled with it lol.
I can remember the days of the "PPV" site and then the "birth" of this one. The highs and lows (and current flat-lining) that we shared together.
I would so love to help in continuing on this site, not only as a Chicks site, but as a tribute to YOU and your dedication as well. However, I don't think I have the technical expertise to do so.
But regardless, KNOW that that are many people that will keep you in their thoughts and prayers. And that your memory will continue to exist. That you can look out at us here, and the friendships, and know "I DID THIS".

Oh Nancy, I am deeply saddened to hear this. One thing is for sure - the big Man up there is going to have another angel.
Over the years not only have you become a friend to most, but you've allowed us to blossom and cultivate friendships with others. This is a gift in which there is no true repayment. I wish you all the luck and peace in your remaning days, whether it's a week or 10 years. Keep positive as much as you can.
I believe that with every death comes something good. No death is in vain. We'll just have to wait and see what lovliness you'll bring.
Much love
If there is anything I can do to keep this site running, throw my name in the hat. I'd more than love to help out. I've got some technical abilities and I've run other message boards before, ProBoards being one type, so I'm familiar with the controls.

Nancy, You have been in my thoughts all day. To add more onto what I previously wrote; My aunt was diagnosed as terminal also, and 15 months later she's doing well and her masses are shrinking. Lance Armstrong was stage three, and we all know how that turned out. As my aunt has said in regards to a commercial that's on tv, there is no expiration date stamped anywhere on you. From what I understand, chemo and radiation are harder on you than most anything else. Keep your spirits up, even through the hard times, there is so much to look forward to. As others have said, you have brought us together with one common interest, and with that, many friendships have been forged, in real life, and in the virtual world. As Jenni stated, I may have not yet met you in person, but I do consider you a friend, and have you in my thoughts in this trying time. I will continue to send positive thoughts your way. I also encourage you to seek out support groups. There is also a message board on the Susan G. Komen site. Here's the site for the Oregon affiliate. www.komenoregon.org/ww5.komen.org/GetInvolved/CircleofPromise.htmlI know I am repeating what others have said, but you are appreciated for everything you do for this site. Please tell your brother to keep us posted. Remember: you are not milk, you do not have an expiration date stamped on you! Keep your thoughts positive. If need be, ask for something to curb any depression, or try taking St. Johns Wart. Only positive thoughts! And get out to see your Packers play!

Words are always difficult at sad times like these and some of your many friends have eloquently expressed their feelings in this thread. I can only echo many of their comments and add that, whilst I never met you, I consider you to be a good friend and will always be grateful to you for giving us this excellent site and allowing me to truly discover the Chicks. I send you much love, you will continue to be in my thoughts and I hope that your remaining days are pain free and peaceful. Hugs and
