Dear Uncle Roger, Traci, Todd, and all extended Schumacher family. Please accept our sincere thoughts and prayers for you, as you morn the loss of such a great wife and mother, and friend. Aunt Nancy was always a caring person to me, something I will always remember. I often think of her on Flag Day, June 14, which was her birthday as you know. I will continue thinking of her each time I see a US Flag standing strong against the wind. I believe Heavenly Father has a great plan of happieness for each of us, in this life and in the next. Though this is an extremely difficult time, please remember we will be reunited with all our loved ones, one day and according to His timetable. I am greatful to be a member of your family as a nephew and cousin, and wish you all the best. Thank You Aunt Nancy for being the wonderful person you were to me. Sincerely and with our Love, Denny, Donna, and Morgan Harman
