Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Robert was a wonderful and godly man and will be much missed. I'm praying for God's peace, comfort, and presence to surround you and carry you through.
May God give you peace and joy in the midst of this sad season. Praying for you and Robert’s family. We believe Jesus will comfort all of you!
Querida Nancy Que el Dios de toda consolación te abrace y te cuide en este tiempo, no nos conocemos pero estoy orando por tu vida! Abrazos de una obrera lista para ir al campo!
Dear Nancy I write with a very heavy heart and tears for you, in the news of the loss of your sweet sweet and dearest husband. How wonderful that the Lord gave you marriage later life to such a wonderful man, but how sad to loose him so soon. I know that you will be well cared for by the RoH family and your own family and friends. I am praying the Lord will provide you with a period of time for mourning, processing, rest and ultimate calm and peace before returning to your teachings. I have followed you for 15 years, discovering RoH whilst my husband was studying at John MacArthur's seminary. We returned to the UK and had 4 short years in ministry before the church was torn in two, dissolved and sold. I would not have made it through these years, having to uphold my husband through the devastations, without you, RoH and the lovely Grounded sisters. I thank you so much for all your solid biblical teachings and therefore am grateful to know with confidence and assurance that Robert is with the Lord in Glory. I look forward to meeting you all on the New Heaven and New Earth, until then, with deepest love and affection in Christ. Fiona, Kent, UK
Dear Nancy, your ministry has been such a blessing in my life. I followed your love story with Robert and it was such an encouragement to see God bring a good godly husband in your life. I am almost 50 and still single but hopeful and praying that if it is God’s will He will bring a good godly man into my life. Robert was such a man and we thank God for this example of man who loved Jesus, his wife, children and others. I thank God for your ministry and for your love story. I pray that God almighty will comfort you during this sad time. God Bless You.

I am a 91 year old lady who listens almost every morning to Nancy. I do tell many people about this program and how much they will be blessed if they will start listening to this wonderful program. I was so thrilled when I heard that the dear Lord had brought these two servants together. I was blessed to see their marriage ceremony. What a testimony for our precious Lord this was. My heart grieves to hear of this great loss for Nancy. Praise that she will see him again in Heaven one day. I have also lost my precious Beloved and the grief is so deep. My prayers are with dear Nancy.
Oh, Nancy, I know you will really miss Robert! I’m so happy you had 10 years to enjoy the “exquisite treasure” of his love for you!! You have already written such beautiful tributes; I’ll be praying for you as you enter into the days ahead. ❤️Love in our Lord!!! Barbara Blanchard
Nancy oro para que no falte tu fe y permanezcas en los brazos del Dios de toda consolación
I am so very sorry for your loss, Nancy. I pray comfort for you and all the family. Nancy, your strong faith and the way you have learned on the Lord is so beautiful. While I have my own trials, I complain and admittedly cry out in frustration and even anger to God. It puts me to shame. But you have continued to cling to the Lord and worship Him through the midst of any anxiety, confusion, worry, sorrow, and now grief and acceptance. What a testimony! I pray that as you grieve and go day by day, you will continue to hang on to God's hand and hold on to His promises. I pray to do the same. Many, many blessings and prayers to you!
I have been deeply impacted by Nancy’s life for decades. When Robert came into her life, I was blessed and impacted by their lives together in a new way… The way they so tenderly loved and cherished and honored each other has profoundly touched me in holding up a beautiful standard of marriage with Christ-centered love and devotion to God and each other. I loved when Nancy would post little glimpses into their relationship—little things like prepping coffee for the other, leaving a sticky note on a windshield, etc. Sweet “little” gestures like that are not “little” at all, but speak volumes of the deep and caring and thoughtful love they had for each other. Seeing how Nancy walked through this final chapter of Robert’s life also has been precious—sorrowful, but tender and peaceful and steady. As others have said—she continues to be an example to us all.
Nancy I’m so heart broken for your loss. You are such an inspiration to me and everyone who knows you. Your faith in Jesus and the way you handle yourself with class and dignity is a beautiful example of Gods redeeming love and how I want to live my life. May God comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time. I’m Praying for you.
Nancy, you shaped me to be the woman, wife, mother, small group leader, and women’s ministry leader I am today. God has truly used you to be a blessing to me and countless other women. I was excited when the Lord finally gave you a husband and you knew the gift of love between husband and wife. I now grieve and have a sense of peace with you now knowing he’s with the Lord so he’s doing better than all of us but sad that he’s no longer physically here with you and your family. You’re a strong woman of God and I know He will sustain you. I look forward to see what God will do in your life next, good and faithful servant. As you always say Heaven Rules. Thank you for your faithfulness and for the years of your mentorship to me and others. I will be praying for Gods peace over you and your loved ones.
Dear Nancy, I am so sorry for the news of your DH homegoing. At the same time I write this I am also enthusiastic of Robert receiving his crowns. I’m sure you will hear many times over “10 years of marriage” was too short. That feeling must be palpable, but God in His providence blessed you with Robert! Whether 10 minutes, 10 months or 10 years~God’s good plan is best. What a brutal battle Robert must have fought! I’m convinced he wanted to stay here on earth for two reasons ~you, and the kingdom work left to do ! But GOD~ God welcomed Robert home & we groan and mourn & say THY WILL BE DONE not as resignation “oh well, God’s will be done.” NO! But in heaven we say the best prayer “thy Will be done!” With faith & assurance. Robert’s body is healed & whole & he now gets to be at Jesus’ feet where lived daily “locked and loaded” as Dannah shared with us revive our hearts community. We love you Nancy! I am sure you are not accustomed to be ministered to~as you have such a servant’s heart~ but my prayer is for rest in this season of mourning & grieving & lament & praise. Like Dr Tim Keller often expressed sorrow & joy co-exist sometimes in the same heart beat. We weep for your pain as his wife, we rejoice for Robert’s entrance. Such a strange emotional-tumultuous experience these moments of grief- please know I am praying!
