I was shocked and saddened to hear today of Nancy's passing. She and I worked together at Quincy Medical Center. I admired her dedication and work ethic. She spoke often of her family. Her love for you all was obvious. Nancy was a good nurse and a good person. She will be missed by many.

Nancy was an inspiration and a godsend to so many, including me. Her warmth, over-the-top caring, and big heart infused love to all those who were lucky enough to know her. Without her, I know that I would not be the person I am today. All of our hearts ache and the world and our community has lost a precious soul that gave so much of herself to help others. We can only hope to use her life as an example of how to make our families and our human community a loving place for all. We miss you Nancy. Rest in peace.

I am shocked at the sudden passing of my dear colleague, Nancy. We worked together at Waltham Hospital and shared a deep fondness for each other, both professionally and personally. Please know that all of you, her dear and beloved family, were the most important part of her life...and hold that close in your hearts always. She deeply loved you all. You were the pride of her life.
My deepest, and most sincere condolences to all of you. We have all lost a very special person.
