Those who bring sunshine into others´ lives cannot keep it from themself. Those who knew Nancy understand this was her.
We are so sad.

Your beautiful smile will never be forgotten. I admire how much Jarod was by your side. What a sweet, kind SUN that is growing to be a wonderful man. You both did an amazing job. I´m so glad Lynn and I were able to take you for a ride on the boat this past summer. What a trooper to climb up and down those stairs! You will be missed Nancy !

Nancy had a heart of gold and a sense of fun like no one I have ever met. I always, always think of her when I hear Rod Stewart - she is so missed and I am sending heartfelt condolences to the Saxton and Kosman families.

Dear Jarod and Family,
Nancy was always a ray of sunshine whenever she entered a room. The world will seem a bit emptier without her infectious spirit and enthusiasm. Nancy...I thank you for all the wonderful memories and precious time we shared. Those who touch our lives, stay in our hearts forever.

Jarod, Mark, & The Saxtons
For perhaps the first time in my life I´m at a loss for words. Nothing I can write here will capture what´s in my heart. There are countless memories (most of which are hysterically funny if not ridiculous). I think the article in the paper about her being the "wrestling mom" captured her essence well, especially the term "social magnetism." I called her "the mayor" because everywhere we went someone knew her and if they didn´t, they would by the time we left! Offering my condolences just doesn´t seem enough. I am grateful that all of you were in my life and am sending my love.

Nancy was a beautiful friend to all of us in the Knapp family. Whether it was a wrestling match or Nancy coming to see my husband and I perform in our band . She had that big smile always. We will miss her, our prayers go out to her precious son and her entire family. Lynn and Vinny Knapp

I offer my sincerest condolences to all of Nancy´s friends and family. I had the pleasure of knowing Nancy through Contemporary Dentistry as my hygienist. She talked often about her son, he was truly the light of her life. I hope those close to Nancy find comfort in their many memories with her and carry those memories in their hearts forever.

Jarod, Mark and Saxton Family:
My/Our sympathies on the loss of Nancy, the ULTIMATE WRESTLING MOM!! Having known her for many years, we developed a lasting friendship via wrestling and Contemporary Dentistry! I can recall many "cleaning sessions" where we discussed only Jarod, wrestling and sometimes wrestling officials. Always keeping us in stitches, she had that beautiful smile and everlasting sense of humor. I miss sending you food at the office! May your soul REST IN PEACE, dear friend. Keep that wrestling mat in the sky clean and ready "to wrestle"!!

Jarod and family my heart aches for you all. There will never be anyone like Nancy. They definately broke the mold. I was blessed to meet Nancy in High School and remained friends throughout the years. She was a vivacious, funny, caring and a loving woman. Jarod you were the sole reason she fought so hard. I pray for peace for you and my friend. She is and always will be missed.

Nancy, you had this special way of making everyone who came in contact with you feel special and loved. I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to be counted as one of your "kids". Even when I went away to college, when we would catch up on my breaks it was like I never left. I'll miss you dearly. May you be free of pain. May your family find comfort in knowing that without a doubt, you love them with all of your heart.
