I have only sweet memories of Nancy, always kind and friendly. We visited UTM together and stayed in the dorm when looking at potential colleges. She was always a nice classmate and I enjoyed seeing her again at the 20 year reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I know she will be missed.
