It’s so hard to say goodbye to a Mother who meant the world to you! She was always there for me and showed her love in so many ways! Some of my fondest memories were staying home from school to go fishing with her. Shopping together was a highlight because we both had a love for thrift stores. She loved animals and the outdoors! Camping was our family vacations most summers and she made it so fun! There were many times that mom and dad would get off work, mom would pack a meal and we would all head to the park pool for lots of swimming, laughing and just enjoying one another! Mom was the center of our life! In the latter years we would spend hours talking on phone. Mom had a great mind and loved to learn.
I miss her so much.
Love you Mom,
Margie

From the daughter of a mom who lost her mother.
Grandma, before the world tipped sideways, you crept into your livingroom to the couch you never wanted me to sleep on and asked if I was awake. Of course I was, you asked if you could talk to me in confidence, and it felt like we had reached an important part in our relationship as granddaughter and grandmother. I didn't know that would be the first and last time I'd have a conversation like that with you face to face.
March 2020, we talked about a lot of things, you shared some fears, spun some wisdom, and delivered some advice, but the thing you said that's stuck with me the most is "Julie, a mother's love for her daughter is something different, it's just so much more special." This is something I know to be fact, and even though you loved unconditionally every person you met, you loved my mom in a way that has left an impact on my life forever.
When I lived at home, I'd wake up in the night to get a glass of water, I'd creep downstairs only to realize my mom was on the couch, sound asleep, somewhat snoring, with a phone in her hand. I'd walk over and check the phone, only to see my your number on the screen, I'd listen carefully and there it was, another person snoring but on the other end of the phone. This wasn't a one time occurrence. Sometimes when I'd try to call my mom, she wouldn't answer, about 20 minutes later (or more) I'd get a call back and the first thing my mom would say is "Hi, sorry, I was just talking to grandma." Never something she needed to apologize for, but always a good excuse.
October 27th 2021, I sat in a chair next to the body that was my grandma and realized, with such a ferocious anger, that my mom had just lost her mother and it broke my heart into a million pieces, it was something my mind couldn't wrap around. But what has helped build it back together is remembering the memories I have of her, remembering who she was to me. I knew Nancy Deal as my grandmother for 31 years, and I wouldn't trade a moment of that time for anything else. Some of my earliest memories involve a lot of peanut butter and saltine crackers plus blues clues at midnight. She'd say "I sure am spoiling you, aren't I?" Of course she was, she loved to love.
I've talked about her love a lot, and no one in this room can deny she had the biggest heart, yet beyond her heart was her spirit for Jesus. If you wanted to look for someone who was Christ-like, you didn't have to look far when Nancy Deal was around. I never had an answer to "who's your hero?" when I was growing up, but now I realized she was at my finger tips this whole time. There's so many things I want to ask her, so many things I want to know about her thoughts... I'm sure more than one of her answers would be "Well Julie, I'm not quite sure, but I'll ask Jesus when I see Him." And boy, oh boy is she asking Him all the questions now....
I never thought I'd have to say goodbye so soon to her, I always thought she'd live to 100, or maybe forever. (She would have hated that.) But I wasn't ready for my grandma to go...
My mom's mother lived a simple life that's sown seeds in every one of our hearts, it will leave a legacy for generations to come. Her love, acceptance, and wisdom will carry on and I hope, one day, I'll be caught sleeping on the couch, with my mom on the other end, because a mother's love for her daughter is something different, its so much more special.
I love you grandma, I'll see you soon.

Nancy (even though she will always be “Mrs. Deal” in my mind) was a precious lady. She always made me feel genuinely loved as she welcomed me with her warm smile. Since my own mom passed when I was only 26 years old, whenever I was blessed to visit with her, those times were more than being with a sweet friend—she was like a mom to me. She is truly missed, but I’m rejoicing over the joy she is experiencing now!
