I can see Nancy sitting at her desk in the back of the store when coming through the door of her shop, smiling, laughing with customers, exicted to show you all the new and unique things she just put out....or moving from the kitchen to the living room with food trays while the Christmas tree was decorated. I miss and will continue to miss our talks, and moments when kindred spirits come together. You are in my heart, and will remain there.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My heart is breaking right now for the Munroes and Mangiacottis, as well as for the many, many people whose lives Nancy touched. Nancy was so dear. She was feisty and funny, loving and lovable, loyal and honest, forthright and generous, welcoming and wise. She would listen and give heartfelt, sage advice. She was always there to lend her support and comfort. And she knew how to be silly and really have fun! But most of all, Nancy loved to celebrate. She was celebration itself. I am blessed to have known her and that she regarded me as her friend. And I know, if she was reading this right now, she'd proabably swear at me for making her cry. That was Nancy. I shall miss her every day. And I thank God that I have wonderful memories of her and our many adventures together to carry with me in my heart always.

Bob and Danielle. I am so sorry for you all at this very difficult time. Nancy was more than a customer in my shoppe, she was my dear friend and I came to love the times we had together. We would talk on and about our families and especially her beautiful Danielle and Justin. I know how much she loved being a Nana and would bring me photos of little Alex. I know how close you and your Mom were, Danielle she was so proud of you always. The memories that you all have will get you through the years ahead. What a blessing Nancy was. I think of her every day and pray for you all. Love Betty

To Bobby and family....After the initial shock and lasting sadness, what is left is the memory of woman who was totally dedicated to living life to the fullest.Nancy did not know how to do anything without giving it " her all." That is quite a legacy to you and your children. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy at this loss..a loss too great to do anything but remember the smile and dedication to living on as fully as you can. Love, Bonnie and Fran Davey

To my mom and best friend,
It doesn't feel possible...a life without your smiling face and infinite love. But, if I have to share you with the angels above, I know that you will still be the "hostess with the mostess" serving your most special tea with Nana and all of our other loved ones in Heaven. Your inner glow will never dim in my eyes...and we will not let Alex ever forget having tea and singing "Over the Rainbow" with his Nana. I'm so proud of you and the life you led.
