When I logged on and saw this thread last night I couldn't bring myself to posting on the board, it seemed so inappropriate at that time. I logged off, went into the living room and sat in the quiet and pondered this and prayed. And I'll continue to think of you and pray for you. This is indeed a sad time for us all who have become friends here - which would not have happened without you, Nancy, and this board. And with that I think you would want us to continue posting. CRCR is your legacy and it should continue. I remember being a fan of yours before there was a board because of your generosity in opening up your vast DCX audio and video library for all the fans to download. And that helped me become the fan I was in 2002-2004. And then the board came along and here we all are. Hugs and prayers, Nancy.
----------
BRING us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity; in the habitations of thy glory and dominion, world without end. Amen. - John Donne

My deepest sympathies Nancy, I want to thank you for all of your work and enthusiasm of the "Chicks" all of these years. Your views I always thought were much like mine. I always looked at Natalie, Emily & Martie as people first, and the entity known as the "Dixie Chicks" second. I love and encourage you to hold on to their positive outlook on life, that there is nothing that can't be achieved, never take "no" for an answer.
All of my hope to you keep searching for your own "Wide Open Spaces", and I will see you there.
Wayne Hughes

Nancy just so you know you did get to meet the CYH! You met the Chicks right which means you met Martie and Emily before they were known as the Court Yard Hounds two thirds and who I still think of as the Dixie Chicks!!! [glow=red,2,300]IT'S ALL ABOUT EMILY!!!!![/glow]

Hello friends of Nancy Atkins,
Today, at 10:55am Pacific, Nancy passed away. She passed with her brother, nephew (me) and good friend at her side. A harpist was also in the room at the time, playing and singing gentle soothing music. She died peacefully in her sleep, and was in no pain or discomfort.
I know with great certainty that all of you meant a great deal to her. In fact, last night she was discussing with me how much joy she got out of conversing with all of you about The Dixie Chicks, among many other things. You were all her friend. She loved you all. She said as much.
Know that Chicks Rock Chicks Rule will continue on! It was her wish that someone carry it on. In the coming days, weeks, months, that transition will take place. In the meantime, let’s remember Nancy, and all that she shared with the world. We will all miss her.
If any of you would like to contact me, please feel free to at tonyuatkins@gmail.com.
Best regards, Tony Atkins

Best regards, Tony Atkins May she rest in peace, she will be greatly, greatly missed. I never met her, but from what posted, and the look in her eyes in her pictures, I knew she had a kind, soft heart and that will never be forgotten. If you want any help with the board, I'll be willing to help out. But because she was such a wonderful person, I doubt there will be any shortage of help to be found. I'm still. . just. . shocked. This is hard to grasp.
