Bob… A great column and a great tribute for a special person who did so much for the community. Indeed something special will always happen. The joy is appreciating it and remembering it. Thank you Nancy Keltner and thank you Bob Dunning.
How blessed are we to have had Nancy in our lives in so many different ways. I'm already hearing from folks who are telling my stories about other things Nancy did for our community that I wasn't aware of. An incredible human being.
I moved to Davis in 1989. At my bridal shower, Mrs.Keltner gave me The Joy of Cooking and a rolling pin. Her note was spot on and hilarious...telling me I may need the rolling pin to keep my husband in line, as she had known him since childhood! I loved it!
I wish blessings and peace to the Keltner family. Loss is hard, especially when you have been loved so much.
Nancy and John and that entire family is about love and kindness and every good thing we should all be concerned about. Bloom where you're planted and they certainly have.
I remember meeting with her on my porch with Debbie Davis as we helped plan your virtual 50+ year Enterprise anniversary celebration (because the paper couldn’t manage to do one for you). Of course we were 6-feet apart. She was a Davis treasure.
I never met Nancy, but remember her name coming up at various city social events. It was always positive. She sounds very much like the type of person we need many more of. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends dealing with the pain of her passing.

You can't cry if you didn't love.

I always wondered what came first: the wonderful non-profit store or the eloquent newspaper columnist. Now I know. Rest in peace.
It's a fun and true story. Has actually happened a bunch of times.

You and Debbie and Nancy. Talk about a powerful trio.
And what a wonderful celebration you guys planned that I still treasure.
Thank you
My part was minor, to be honest. They did the heavy lifting.

Thank you, Frank.
