I remember Nancy from my boyhood days. She was a young woman then. She and Conrad were close friends of my parents. I remember her as vivacious, full of life and enthusiastic. Much singing and dancing! She cared about us kids and what was happening with us. She was a positive part of a very happy time in my life. Very sorry to hear of her passing. My heartfelt condolences to Conrad and the children.
