While I know that this e-mail will not be posted, I will feel better having written it. I am Darold Anderson's daughter. Having read of Nancy's death, and seeing the comments made about her in the obituary as well as some of the posted messages, I see that no one really knew her at all. They forget that she was married to Eddie Warren when she started an affair with my father. They forgot that after I left a red rose on my father's grave, that she broke it in two, and left a note on his headstone saying that I needed to ask my now deceased mother who my real father was. They don't know how she insisted that I accept her as my stepmother, or else she would not allow my father to have contact with me. She even drove a wedge between my father and his sisters and brothers. Words like "Always kind and helpful", and "sweet and loving" stick in my throat. The woman was none of those things. Quite bluntly, she was a bitch and I for one am thrilled that she is dead. My only regret is that she will be buried beside my father. He was at least able to rest in peace in the grave until now.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. May God bless.

It was with great saddness that I learned this morning of the passing of Ms. Nancy. I graduated from Russell High School in 1974 and in 1981 I went to work for Chessie System RR. Although working in Huntington, Raceland Baltimore, Newport News, VA, and Selkirk, Ny, my path has crossed Nancy's on many occasion. I loved her dearly and think that I am a better manager and friend today because of her. I am also very aware of the love and support she gave to "Nancy's boys". Many of the boys she helped and supported through jobs and paper routes were friends of mine. The community has lost a great and compassionate person. My prayers go with you. Mike McClave
