To the Family of Nancy,
I was one of Nancy's nurses at BMC. I work on 5West and I wanted you all to know how Nancy touched our hearts and made us laugh. She definitely had "moxie" and she let us know what we were going to do with her care. As a relatively new nurse I will remember Nancy and her strength. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Although time has passed and friendships go their separate ways, it just seems like only yesterday. I still remember fondly, countless times at the Baileys’ home growing up. Nancy was the best Mom. Always making sure we had hot cocoa after sliding and making room for one more on sleepovers and camping trips that were just so special and lots of fun. It was a privilege to have been included. Nancy will always hold a special place in my heart. My thought and prayers go out to you all.
