So sorry to hear of your loss, Nancy was a great person. I worked with her for a breif time at Market Intelligence in Hopkinton, and she could always make me smile.
You are in my prayers,

Nancy will never be forgotten, she was a good friend and neighbor. She was always there to volunteer in our neighborhood association, "The Tatnuck Neighborhood Association:
She loved the outdoors and wildlife so much here on Patch's Reservoir. She loved watching the swans and the ducks, and loved to row her boat around and enjoy the beauty of it all. It will feel empty now with her gone, we will miss Nancy very much.
