Nancy was my very best friend all through our years at Classsical high.Many wonderful memories and many long tennis games at Tatnick.My last time with Nancy was in 1985 when she came to my Mom's funeral. She was a great friend and a wonderful lady. I know she is at peace and will be greatly missed.

Dear Hjerpe Family: I just found out of the death of Nancy. I am so sorry for your loss. It is truly a great loss and she will be greatly missed. My mom (Janet Yeo Barr) was Nancy's roommate in college at Framingham State College. I remember growing up and coming to your house to get together. I always remember Nancy's great closets full of the greatest fabric and sewing supplies. I just thought that was so neat. Nancy was a great friend to my mom all through her life until her untimely death in 1997. The loss of two wonderful women and mothers but they will always be in our hearts. Please accept my deepest condolences and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Cindy (Barr) Sarapas

To Ed Hjerpe III & Family:
I am sorry I could not make your mother's wake and funeral. Please I accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. She certainly did raise a wise, hard-working and thoughtful son. She must have been a wonderful mother. Pretty soon we will be that "oldest generation". That isn't so easy to face up to. I believe your mother is resting peacefully, beyond pain and suffering, in the hands of the Lord. God bless her and may He care for you and your loved ones at this very difficult time.

To all the Hjerpes:
I wanted to let you know that I was thinking of all of you this week, with much fondness. It seems like yesterday when we our families got together and bought the land for Northcourt and we began working on the pool and tennis courts. Even as children, our parents found plenty of manual labor for us all to do as we turned that land into a family oasis. Setting expectations and demanding results are lessons that we all learned growing up together. What I clearly remember are the pool gatherings, with Nancy (Mrs. H) often at the center of organization, making sure we all had a good time (and her only partially successful attempts to get us to behave ourselves). Her interest went far beyond her own children; she always took the time to ask how we were all doing in school, sporting events and other activities. And she was genuinely interested in your answers. She and Ed are truly unique parents.
As I got older I spent many of my high school and college days and nights growing ever closer to Kathy: ski trips, football games, parties and just taking care of each other, going through those “painful” years of becoming adults and trying to figure out relationships (the biggest one included Marc, who somehow managed to capture Kathy’s love and is her strongest supporter to this day). I also learned to appreciate Michael’s humor and good nature, working with him in the painting business, along with the Coakley brothers and assorted other misfits from high school.
I know that Nancy’s children, grandchildren and other family and friends have been influenced by spending time with her. Remember the gentle nature and open heart of this woman, her laugh and her love of each of your achievements as if it were her own (for in many ways it was). One only had to walk into her house to feel the kindness and warmth and feel her focus on you with genuine concern.
I can easily say that I did a lot of growing up with the Hjerpes, and remain the better for it. My thoughts are with you this week. Love to all, Jeff

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time, I knew your Mom, because I worked for a service that use to clean house for her in Northborough. She was always so friendly to us, and always made us feel welcome.

Dear Ed, and all of your family.
Learning of Nancy's passing finds me with great sadness foryourloss.
Elaine and I had great fondness for her; a lady of loveliness and sharing.I always likened Nancy and Elaine to one another; now, even moreso in their final destinies.
My words of condolence can do little to diminish your sorrows at this time. However, in haunting days ahead you may find it comforting by frequently dwelling on God's wisdom in calling her 'now'; to await her family in absolute peace; young,beautiful,and without pain or stress. Such thinking has helped to provide me with sustenance and strength. love,Phil

Dear family - your mom was so kind to my brothers and I and took us into your home while my own mother was ill. We were young then and I will always remember what a beautiful and remarkable mom she was. God bless.
