Not sure what to say?

To Nancy's family and friends:
I grew up with Nancy in POW on Fire Island and was her roommate in NYC from 1966 - 1970. I have to say we shared wonderful times together.

Always frugal, always positive, always laughing and finding humor, Nancy was a wonderful loyal friend. I am so lucky to have had her in my life and I know for her family a great loss. My thoughts are with you all. Love,...

In 1997 I had the pleasure of meeting my sister Cathy's dear friend Nancy. It was Nancy who hosted a Shower for Cathy's daughter, Gwen, the day before the Wedding...Nancy was so gracious to open her home to us "out-of-towners" and I'll never forget the peals of laughter we shared. I know Cathy will surely miss Nancy and their long talks...

Cornelia & Seth,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please remember your Mom is with you in spirit always. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Cornie and all the Alden family.

Dear Cornelia and Seth –

I have so many special memories of your Mom – starting way back while playing on the Williams Baseball team (Seth was then resident bat-boy, of course…) as your Mom had invited our whole team to your place on Northwest Hill Road for a cookout as a way to say thanks for including him on our team. Who knew then that I would make the acquaintance again many years after graduation while trying to secure a place for my golfing troupe who would come to...

The message about visiting with Nancy on the Benedict Road is from her fans Jim and Linda Young.

Our visits with Nancy during our walks on Benedict Road were among the highlights of our stay in Pownal several years ago. It makes us sad to know she won't be there when we visit the area. She was a delightful person and I'm glad we had a chance to know her.
