I learned of Nancy´s passing a while ago but did not know how to get in touch. I just found this method now. So very sorry to hear of this and sending love and prayers as you remember her every day. She was very kind to me during my time in Chicago. Deepest condolences to you all.

As President of the Rotary Club of Evanston, our club appreciates David Braverman, both as a member and friend, and for his service to our club and his community. Although I never met Nancy, her son's example speaks well for her. I and my club members extend our prayers and good will to her and her family.

Thank you Nancy for sharing David with us.
