We spent winters on Anna Maria Island with Nancy and Rick and just loved being with them. We became very close. She was so brave when she became ill an I will always remember her as a special friend.

Loved and miss my dear friend who I spent many years in Florida at Bali Hai Beach Resort. Loved spending time with Rick too. Nancy was the bravest person I know even after she was diaagnosed with her illness. May you rest in peace Dear Nancy.
