Sorry to be so late in getting the news. I know and trust that the memeories, along with the qualities Nancy passed along, both through gentics, and the way she lived her life, will be of great comfort to you. Although her graciousness, caring, and giving of herself will be greatly missed, those who knew her have an opportunity to follow her lead. Much love to all, Uncle John

Nancy was an ISU freshman and my housemate. Even then you could tell she was destined to make a real impact not only professionally but also in her family life. Too young to be gone...but never forgotten.

To the family of Nancy,
I was so shocked to see the passing of Nancy. I worked with her at the Orangeville school district and truly admired her. She had such a beautiful way with all people and made everyone she met feel special. She made a big difference in the lives of so many children. I pray special blessing and peace for her family.

Dearest Family of Nancy,
Nancy was one of the most caring people I knew. I got to work with Nancy for 3 years at Orangeville, where we formed a working friendship. When she left I brought her a plant in a planter. She just called me several months ago and thanked me again saying that she remembered me every time she looked at it. My life is so blessed just having known her!! My condolences go out to your entire family.
