Our deepest condolences. I’ve known Nancy from Dr Singers for many years and then to see her one day in the fitness center at Del Webb where we moved ! She was always so pleasant to be around, and it was good to get to know her even more. We are saddened to hear of this.
Our whole family is deeply grieved for the Parkin family’s loss!

Dear Family My deepest sympathy
So hard to believe she is gone, not long ago I sat across from her at Bingo. We only met 3 years ago but immediately became friends. She had a very difficult year but was always concerned about everyone except herself. She was so wonderful to know, and loved her family deeply. I will miss her as I'm sure all of you will to. Her pain is finally gone. Rest in peace my friend....
She was such a nice lady our prayers are with you.

Our condolences to the family. Loss of a loving wife and mother like Mrs Parkin is painful and unforgettable, and your family and friends grieve with you. We only met briefly, but I am forever grateful to her for the genuine kindness and sweet spirit that she imbued in Mary.
Heaven got another angel. We will miss Nancy terribly. She has been such a blessing to our family. She would do anything for you and would never complain and always had that beautiful smile on her face even when she was in pain. She truly was a blessing to our family. Nancy is what a true lady, wife and mother should be. She is with Jesus now. We love you Nancy!
I said a Prayer for you today, that God would touch all of you with His healing hand, and give you and your Family the Comfort and Peace you need to get through. Remember her kindness and smile. Remember the good times, and all her love to fill your hearts forever. She is not gone. She is walking beside you.

Dear John and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Nancy was such a lovely and talented person. I will miss seeing her in the back yard area digging in the dirt and planting flowers and plants. From your neighbor, Lois Kenyon
It's a time we all come to and Pat and I will remember the day in Elgin when we had lunch. We hope that you and your family will celebrate Nancy's life in fond memories. Our prayers to you, John and all of your family. Paul and Pat
Nancy was (and will always be) a very special cousin to me. As adolescents and teens, we were close...she was that friend you could talk to about parents, girls, school or most anything else. We could, and sometimes did, talk for hours. Unfortunately, we permitted life's destinies, family priorities and miles of separation to put our relationship aside.We were saddened to learn only recently that she was even ill. Her passing is a terrible loss to her loving husband, John, and their wonderful family. She will be missed by all who knew her and whose many lives she touched. I will always remember her sharp wit, her laugh and ever-present smile and her willingness to simply listen. Rest in Peace, Nancy. You are with Him today.
We celebrate your going home with tears. God needed you home Nancy. We will miss you. Till we meet again God Bless us all ????
May the caring thoughts of friends and family help you through this time of sorrow. Nancy will be missed by so many. God is our refuge and strength.
The Lord's comfort of eternal life for Nancy to you and your children. Unfortunately because of recent hospitalization Mary and will not be able to make the funeral. Our thoughts will be with you and your family. May we all remain faithful in the Lord that we may join Nancy and Jesus. Peace in the Lord, Pastor and Mary Richter
John, and family, We wish to express our sympathy to you and your family upon the passing of Nancy. We are sorry for the loss of your wife of over 50 years and the wonderful mother and grandma of your children and grandkids. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Emily and Dale (parents of Kristin) from your Celtic travel soccer team.
I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out today. Loved having your whole family as our neighbors on Samoset court. Your Mom was always fun to talk to and a very sweet person. Sad to hear this.
