Neil and family, I was so sorry to hear about Nancy. I have fond memories of her visits to Binghamton to visit her cousins and all those trips we made to Rochester, staying with her grandmother, my Aunt Rose. I know she will be dearly missed by all of her family. May she rest in the peace of Christ.

JoAnn and Dick,
My heart goes out to both of you. You have been the best sister. Helping her when she needed it and letting her go when she thought she could do it. Bless you both and may time heal your wounds. Nancy loved you.

Nancy embodied the "best of all of us". She rarely had a negative thought. She rarely dwelled on her sorrows, or had jealous thoughts about those with more than her. She was born to be a teacher and a student...she always loved to learn new things and share her knowledge with others, especially children. She called us HER angels, but the truth is...she was "the best of us". We will never forget our dear friend-never-and we will always raise a glass to her spirit and her kindness. And now, without a doubt, she is OUR angel.
