Nancy Lapp lit up my life from the moment I met her. She was the first one of my girls that I met after I found out that I was going to be an RA. I remember distinctly the smile that warmed my heart as she threw her arms around me and told me how excited she was to be my roommate. Her bubbly spirit captured my heart.... and thus began four months of adventures and moments I will never forget. Nothing was ever empty or meaningless with Nancy. From her love of every kind of music imaginable to her passion about becoming a wife and mom, her life was filled with thought fulness and excitement. The simplest things were pure joy... from coffee in the mornings during quiet time to fuzzy socks to novels... that girl enjoyed life. Nancy's love for people was evident to everyone around her. Every time I saw her, she was hanging out with someone new. The day she found out that she was going to be a conversa tion partner, I thought she was going to burst with excitement. She dove right in, learning about the different cultures her students came from and lovingly helping them get used to life here. I would often come back to our room at the end of the day to discover two or three foreign students camped out on my floor making rice and drinking tea with Nancy. She brought so much unity to our little suite of eight girls. We always laughed at how she wanted to hold hands when we prayed during devos. She loved to go around and give us each a hug before we went to bed at night. She laughed with us and cried with us. She was truly touched by the things that touched God’s heart. I don’t think anyone could meet her without knowing that there was something special about her. Her heart was so deeply enamored by the things of the Lord that it overflowed into everything she did. Almost daily she would come to me with a smile on her face to share with me what God had shown her. We laughed a lot. We talked about life... God, love, family, ambitions, dreams and hopes. Life without that sweet girl has been very difficult for myself and my girls, yet we are so thankful that we were given the precious gift of being her roommates. I have never believed more strongly than I do now that God is good and faithful and sovereign and trustworthy. He brings a peace that truly surpasses all understanding. I rejoice that Nancy is worshipping in the presence of the Savior that she loved so much. I can’t wait to hug her in heaven one day! Caroline Stark 93
