I am so sorry for your loss. Nancy and I worked at Cozen and she was always upbeat and so sweet. After she retired I would see her every once in a while when I visited my sister, her neighbor. She will be missed. My sincere sympathy.

I was so saddened to learn of Nancy's passing. I remember her from our years at the Schnader firm. What I remember most about her were her sparkling eyes and friendly smile. Gone way too soon. Rest in peace, Nancy.

There is no way I can begin to express how much I will miss Nancy. I was one of the fortunate ones whom that Angel chose to befriend. It was an easy friendship. She was loving, understanding, honest and, or course fun. When we weren't laughing over the dumb things that we and/or our cats had done, we were (and Janet can attest to this) obsessing over our hair. It was the national past time in our books. Gee, we couldn't rely on the Phillies to monopolize that spot, although we stuck til the end. There will never be another Nancy Gallagher in my life. I am so thankful that she was in it for as long as she was, although it would have been nice if we had gotten a few more years, but I guess God had other plans for this wonderfully warm human being. It will be comforting to know that she will be here and we only have to look and be open to the signs of her presence. Goodbye Nancy, I will miss you.

My family is heartbroken over the loss of Nancy. Nancy was my work mom and friend. For many years, we took the train together, had lunch together and talked about our families. We had many, many good laughs. When she retired, we still talked by telephone and met for lunch. Nancy truly loved her family and friends. I will miss her dearly.

Nancy was a very dear friend of mine for the past 25+ years, many of them working side-by-side. Her death leaves me heartbroken. We shared so much of our lives with each other...so many ups and downs through the years. She was a great Mom and Nana and Friend. I will miss her so much.
Sending much love to her family.

Our sweet Nancy, a lovely woman who could light up a room with her smile and personality. You left us so suddenly and took a piece of our hearts with you. We know you are an angel in heaven, looking down on those you left behind, crying, and shuddering with disbelief, even as we read this notice. You were a dear friend and confidante to me; you were there for me offering support during my own life trials. I tried to do the same for you. I only regret that I will no longer be able to share an Olive Garden lunch or be in your company during this lifetime. Your legacy is the beautiful family that you raised. They all loved "Mom" and "Nan." Until we meet again in the presence of Jesus and Mary his Mother...Kathy Smith
