Nancy and I were best friends from kindergarten to high school graduation. We did everything from play in the sand pits to riding bikes through the graveyard. We giggled as we ate green apples tossing the core at each other and we would dance to records in her bedroom and record on my tape recorder in my bedroom. We would spend hours on the phone trading our thoughts about boys and bits of gossip. We lived about 2 or 3 miles apart but it didn't stop us from walking to each other's house just to share a piece of news. We played hooky together once hiding in the crabapple trees behind Clinton elementary. That was a very long day sitting in those trees.

We lost touch after graduation. Nancy and Mark got married and she started her family. And I never could get her to answer letters or phone calls. Come to find out later she pretty much shut everyone out. I don't know why. But that makes me really sad too. My heart goes out to her family, her children and her grandchildren and a special big hug for our classmate and her husband Mark Imlay.

"Where have all the flowers gone" is the song that came to mind. Nancy, I hope you learned and accomplished all that was in your soull contract this time and hope for as perfect a life as possible in your next encarnation, whereever and whenever you choose it to be after your rest. Remember that there is no time or space iwhere you are now, except as you choose to encarnate and experience it.In fact, there is no where, except your point of view. Be at peace.

I'm pretty sure Nancy had the prettiest smile of any teenage girl in Utah!  I'm saddened she had to endure so many years of suffering.  Going "home" will bring joy to her heart.  Condolences to Mark and their family.

I did not know Nancy well but  I was always weakkneed when approaching her at school. However  I was close to Clay, with whom I spent countless hours competing for grades in our classes, studying at his home, also competing with him at Hill Air Force commissary bagging groceries to see who could earn the most tips from customers. I am certain he developed a stronger character due to the time his spent with Nancy her energy and characte certainly jettisoned him to the point he graduated #1 in his class. I also teased him often that when he went off to the Air Force Academy he found himself compelled to start dating another Nancy whom he later married. 

Mark -I had small interaction with you at school, but distinctly remember sitting in your brand new car, which had all the options you wanted and learned that when you —Mark- decided you wanted it your goal was set, BUT you not only wanted it you wanted to pay cash for it.. I then realized you were disciplined also very understated wishing zero attention—flying under the radar with no fanfare..  Mark of all the individual interviews filmed for our 20th Reunion your insights your wisdom your maturity flowed from a man who knew what he had lived.. your words weren’t read, memorized only to be shared since they sounded right. 

Mark I am certain both you and your companon of 49 years, your soulmate and wife will live on through the ripples of influence these times you shared together will positively impact many. 

 

Thank you for your strong example.

I have many memories of Nancy from 1st grade through high school. What a fun, energetic girl. I'm glad we were friends.

Dear Mark, your children and grandchildren, my sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Nancy.  I have been saddened by your loss.  I have many scattered memories of interactions with Nancy through the school years, always pleasant and fun.  I remember most vividly her working on the journalism projects in Mr Rogers' classes, the newspaper and the yearbook.  She was always ready and willing to take on assignments and wanted to present her best work for publication.  She was sweet and kind and had a great laugh as I remember.  I always inquired at the reunions about her, seems like she buttoned those days in a hidden place, so we didn't see her.  But she was etched in our memories as a beautiful and vivacious cheerleader at all the athletic games and functions, someone we all looked up to for her talent and spirit.  I hope you can take comfort in knowing that many, many of yours and her classmates have very fond memories of her.  I believe she rests in peace and hope you can take solace in that knowledge in the days ahead. May God Bless You in your mourning.  Sincerely, Connie Gallegos
