My heart was broken when I read about Nancy's passing. I knew her for 40 years and worked with her for 25 years. Just spoke with her weeks ago and thought she would be with us forever. You will be deeply missed.

I was so sad to hear that we'd lost Aunt Nancy. She was one of the coolest and wittiest ladies I've had the pleasure to know. She will be missed.

She was a classy, smart woman. I know she loved the lake and hope she was well enough to enjoy it. I have fondly thought of her often. They don't make them like Nancy anymore!
