I am truly sorry to read that Nancy's cancer finally took her life. She was such a fighter and an inspiration to my husband and I. When I hadn't heard from her in a while, I did a internet search, only to learn of her passing. We were work associates at Travelers and CNA, although I worked in other offices. I know that there is a special place for her in Heaven, and she is finally at peace. I will miss our phone conversations.

I just learned tonight that Nancy had passed... My mom Binnie Mulligan Lemond and she were lifetime friends, and she visited my mother not long before we lost her six years ago. Mom loved Nancy as much as any sister could, and because of that, hearing of her passing feels like losing a close family member. Sending much love and light to all the family...

I am truly saddened to hear about Nancy's passing. She and I were co-workers at CNA Surety although we worked in different offices. Nancy was sensible, extremely diligent and a good friend I could count on for sound advice. My heart dropped when I did a Google search for her when I wasn't hearing back from her in recent weeks. I didn't know she had passed. I hope she is at peace now and knows how much she impacted the lives of the people with whom she came into contact. I will miss you, my friend. Until we meet again. Eileen.

So very sorry to read of Nancy's passing. We graduated together in '61 from the old Harding High School. It was really nice to hear from her when she called me about a month ago. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Nancys passing . We worked together at Travelers Insurance Co. I thought the world of Nancy as did all of her colleagues . Nancy was always upbeat even in the face of diversity. She had the most remarkable attitude as she fought the disease which took her life. My sincerest condolences to Nancys family and her many friends. I have lost a dear life long friend. So long Nancy I will always miss you. With Love and Sympathy , Lee Andrews
