Leslie and Audrey, I can't tell you how sorry I was to read the obituary in the Beacon Hill Times. Nancy was a remarkable woman and she raised two wonderful daughters. I'm sure nothing really prepares one for the death of a parent, but I hope very much that with time some of the pain you must be feeling is replaced with happy memories of your mother. Her strength, directness, warmth and humor will stay with me and be her legacy in my mind. Love to you both, along with my sympathies.

Praying that Anne's family may find comfort in memories of her and in the knowledge that others that knew her or were impacted by her deeds are missing her too. Glad she left a mark on many peoples lives.....

Dear Audrey and family,

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. I never had the honor of meeting your mother but she certainly sounds like an intriguing woman!

With deepest sympathy,
