Dear Tim and Family,
I worked with Nancy at Gambro many years ago. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I admired her for many things including her devout Christian faith and her devotion to her family. We worked together at several training sessions; I learned so much from her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I am comforted by picturing Nancy’s joy as she walks with Jesus.

Dear Tim and Family,
I was so saddened to learn of Nancy's passing. She worked with me at Gambro many years ago and I thought so much of her as a person and as a Dialysis Nurse. I know there were times we took her away from you guys to travel and do other things but I want to make sure that you Tim and each of the children know what an impact she had on people far from her world in Charelston. As the word of Nancy's death has spread across the country among her collegues and people she trained the sense of loss is palpable, even though we didn't see her or talk with her much. Most important though is the consistent expression "she was so kind to me, she taught me so much, she was one of the worlds finest people"

I know Nancy's loss is enourmous to you but also know there is a large group of people nationwide that understand that loss and will miss knowing Nancy is there

Tim, I was privileged to have worked with Nancy when she was with Gambro. I admired her creativity, intelligence and her caring and compassionate nature.
I was shocked to hear of her illness and death. I know she was so pleased to be teaching at the school, working with the church and being at home with you and the children. Her contributions to the community were obvious as reflected in the other messages. My prayers will be with you and the rest of your family.

To the family,
I was a student of Mrs. Gochnauer like many others and I am sad to find out that she is no longer here physically but she will always be here spiritually. She had such a sweet spirit and kind personality, she only wanted the best for her students and for them to go far. My prayers will be with you all!

Words do nothing to describe how I felt last night when I heard that Nancy had gone to sit at the feet of Jesus, singing praises to our God. She will always hold a special place in my heart as she helped me through one of the toughest summers of my life. God is good - all the time. I pray He will continue to wrap you in His loving arms. I am thankful to have known your precious wife and mom!

Even though we are in Atlanta, our hearts, thoughts but especially our prayers are with you all. Nancy touched my life in a profound way. I never shared that with her. Watching her walk out her faith I witnessed love, trust and peace in a way that I never knew was possible.

Your family made a difference in ours as we gained understanding about loving the Lord ...I thank God for each of you and the way He allowed us into your lives for a season.

May God bless you and keep you, carry you and comfort you through this time.

Dear Gochnauers,

I was saddened to hear that Nancy's battle with this hideous disease had ended. She was and will always be an angel to all who knew her. From experience, it is a joy to know that she no longer is suffering and is whole and rejoicing with the Lord. The hard part is learning to live without her with you, I know. Minute by minute, lean on Him, who will strengthen and comfort you; and bring loving family memories to cherish.

God's blessings to you all,

Kay and Abigail Brightwell

Dear Gochnauer family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you as you celebrate a life well lived. I meet Nancy in February of 1990 when I came to work at Charleston Kidney Center as a dialysis tech, she was the one who trained me and taught me everything about dialysis. Nancy was a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit. Family as you comprehend this great loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heaven. May God continue to bless your family.
