The first time I met Nancy was on November 9, 2006 in Portland during the last tour. We met at a hotel for lunch. She was supposed to have a one on one with Junichi but she knew I was in town and wanted to share the experience with me and another friend of hers. She could have easily had Junichi to herself to pick his brain but she was so giving that she simply had to include others. I am eternally grateful to her for that couple of hours of Chicks bliss. God is so lucky to have her now because I'm sure He is asking her all about the Chicks. I just wonder which song was playing when she went through the gates.........

My deepest sympathy to Nancy's family and friends.
We, too, were her on-line friends, and we owe her so much.
God bless and rest her soul in peace.

I just heard the news on Facebook. I didn't know that Nancy was ill, so her passing comes as a great shock to me. I haven't been on here in a long time. I left this board shortly after my nephew's death and now I return because of another death. I had and still have a great admiration for Nancy. I hope that during the years that I knew her through this board that I was half as kind to her as she was to me. Rest in peace my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear this news I didn't realize she was sick until I saw the post on twitter & here this morning, and to see that she has already passed is very sad. I never met Nancy, but I could tell from posting on here that she was a wonderful person.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. - David Harkins
God bless you Nancy and may you rest in peace.

I'm crying as i read this. I haven't seen the post on facebook, but I read it on here, and I can barely breath. I didn't know Nancy personally, but from posting on here, I knew that she was a wonderful person. There is a gaping whole in CRCR today, a hole that will never go away. I only wish that there was a way for us to get in touch with the chicks/cyh team, and let them know. Rest in peace nancy.

Nancy will certainly be missed. I hope that her whole family knows that we are praying for them. I'm going to put a video up on youtube in dedication to her.

The second time I met Nancy was in Los Angeles in October 2007 during the six shows at the Nokia Theatre. A group of us had lunch at a downtown hotel with Junichi. Nancy was one of those fans who attended. Below is a photo of that lunch. Nancy and I talked before and after the meal and we got along so well. She was a true fan who wanted to be a part of this special series of concerts. Junichi played a big part in making that happen.

What a shock. Just yesterday she posted her end was near. Who knew it would be so close? I'm hurting for her family. She was such a kind hearted person with a twinkle of mischief in her eye. She will be truly missed, around here especially. I hope she rests in peace.

Very sad news indeed! Thank you for everything that you gave DCX fans, Nancy - you were always so kind and helpful. The world is a lesser place without you. My sincere condolences to your family and may you rest in peace.
