Nancy was such a sweet, dear friend. She so loved her family and her sweet son, Thomas. I shall never find a more genuine friend an she. We had so many conversations while she worked with me, regarding her compassion and concern for our students. My life has been so much more blessed because she was a part of it. She was the best of everything life had to offer. I will so truly miss my dear friend and colleague.

Nancy, you were a great friend! I am so blessed you were part of my life. I'm so glad my family knew and adored you and I am happy that you were part of my boys lives. I will always remember overnights at my grandparents camp at Saratoga Lake after the Rafters, camping in Lake George after Mothers, a couple of attempts at downhill skiing, shopping, visiting you in Vermont and most of all, dancing and lots of laughter. You will always be an inspiration to me, you worked tirelessly at getting your education and then were there to share and inspire others. You also worked so hard to care for and support your family. Last but not least, the light of your life...Thomas. May your light continue to shine through what I know to be the highlight of your life. I am certain Thomas will continue to make you, me and the rest of your beloved family proud. I see so much of you in Thomas. So Nancy, now I trust that you will continue to be with us, everyday in heart and soul. I believe God called you home, to help him with the 20 little children that recently joined him, continue your life's work in Him. God bless you. I will miss you! Love, Marilyn Keis-Hartunian and Family. :-)
