Life has not always been easy for Nancy. Uncle Flavil said it best when he first saw our first born Beth Ann. Upon determining that she was a girl baby he stated we just as well feed her to the hogs. That is how thinking runs in some farm families. Bitterness and misunderstanding over property division set in and brought sorrow to all are close to Nancy.

We can find love in places we never would expect to find love. In this case it was in a metal storage box containing a number of glass covered slides bound with special tape to seal the film from change. The slide says what I wish to say with a big hug. Nancy, I love you!
