Im still in shock. I thought Nancy would live forever!
When her and my mom would get together,they acted like teen-agers having so much fun.
She was like a second mother to me. She was at our house alot while I was growing up, and always brought cheer and laughter with her. She will be missed by many.
My prayers go out to all of the family, and her friends that knew her well.

To Nancy's family: I am so very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. We worked together for several yrs on the Geriatric Unit and became good friends. I never laughed harder than I did when with her. She made all situations easier to deal with. When I remarried, in 1987, it was Nancy's shining face I remember most as Norm and I walked back down the aisle. She was one of a kind and a friend I will never forget. Please accept my sincerest condolences, and know that both Norm and I are keeping you all in our prayers.
