To Mike, James, and Family,
Nancy was one of the first people I met when I started working at Verizon back in 1992. What a warm, friendly feeling she gave me when I came to work. We went on to work together in many different departments. She was so very special and will be missed. Her family was always so special to her and I loved hearing how happy she was over our lunches since I left Verizon. She will be in my heart forever as will your family.

My thoughts are with you.

Dear Mike and James: I am still in shock as I am sure you are also. I will never forget our trip canoing on the Sacco River. Nancy and I had such a wonderful time together both at work and after. She will very much be missed. I pray for her every day and know that she is with God and looking over you from above. If there is anything I can do for you and your family, please let me know.
