Steve,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Nancy. I pray that the many precious memories of your life together will warm your heart, as you strive to cope with the tremendous void left - by her passing to the other side of life. My heart breaks for you.
Sincerely, and in Christian love,

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the Ballard/Workman families during this time of profound loss. I was so very fortunate and lucky to have known Nancy for almost fifty years. She was the kind of committed friend everyone should be graced to have. We both enjoyed the abundant natural beauty of our gorgeous State of Arkansas. To be outdoors hiking, swimming, or water skiing with her was a pure joy. She provided the inspiration, wisdom, and encouragement for me to earn my degree in Elementary Education. She was there for me as a mentor after I graduated and began teaching. Nancy was dearly, dearly loved by her many, many friends, and is deeply missed. I am so very grateful for our friendship through the years.
Mrs. Ballard was my fourth grade teacher at Vandergriff Elementary, this was one of my favorite years of school. She took our whole class on a hiking field trip and I still remember her guiding us on the hiking trails and taking pictures on the playground. Sending prayers and love to her family. She was a fabulous teacher and phenomenal person.
Nancy was about way more than I realized in my two years of living in the Fayetteville area. She and I continued our friendship journey for several years after my husband and I retired back to our home state, Nebraska. We did so over the game of bridge. I will most assuredly miss my friend, Nancy!
My sister Renè Vandenberg Start and myself , especially Renè had many fond memories of Nancy from Elementary school until High School when we moved to Austin , Texas. May God’s perpetual light shine upon her.
Steve, very sorry to hear about the death of your wife. John Crook
