To Nancy's Family,
I am so sorry to read of Nancy's death. We have been friends for over 40 years, through work in the Jr. League and many hours of work at General Hospital. She was a "neat lady" and will be missed by so many. My prayers are with you.

I would like two extend deepest sympathy to Nancy's family. She made a very big difference in my life. While working for New York State Dept. of Labor in 1965, she referred me for a job as Employment Interviewer in the Agency. Thirty-four years later I retired from the Labor Dept. after a challenging and enjoyable career.
