When I think of Nancy, I think of her strength and inner beauty. As a teacher, she had a significant impact on my life. I can hear her voice speaking to me and encouraging me to shine the light of knowledge on others the way she shared her light so generously with me. All of those who love her and miss her are in my thoughts.
