My heart goes out to you George and your family in your terrible loss. I worked with Nancy all those years at the Tel. Co. and I am so grateful that we got to say our goodbye, at a luncheon, ( although she refused to "say" the actual word ) when I was moving to Ohio. I know she will be so missed by so many people. She was loved.
