Mourning

On Sunday, we got the horrible news that Steven's secretary of 2 years and my parents' next door neighbor of 20 years died. Nancy Maltez was hiking with her husband and 3 children when she fell off a 1,000 foot cliff. We are very much still in shock and can't believe that such a wonderful lady died in this most tragic way. I've been sick to my stomach since we got the news and Steven is just beside himself with grief. He can't believe she won't be walking into work anymore and seeing her desk, her notes, her pictures, etc. yesterday was just heartbreaking. My poor mom hasn't stopped crying for two days and the rest of my family is in shock and is having a hard time believing this nightmare is a reality. Please pray for her family's comfort.
Nancy was one of the most Christlike people I've ever known, always had a smile on her face, and adored her family. She was the first and only person Steven has ever hired that, from day one, he said, "Nancy is the best!" and never had one complaint about. She is and will be very missed.
