Not sure what to say?

I recently found out about the passing of this wonderful woman. My mother Olga Melnyk worked for Knowles Electronics for almost 25 years. I worked there for four Summers and Christmas holidays while attending college. I knew Mr. Hugh Knowles well and the original Mrs. Knowles, Josephine. I remember the company Christmas parties and the company picnics. Then I got to know Nancy. She was very kind to all of us. She knew everyone by name. She was a friend to all of us, even to us college...

I worked for Knowles Electronics for the first seven years of my career. I knew Nancy and Hugh and counted them as dear friends.

I am sure Nancy has been missed by many people. She was such a joy to be around.

I was so saddened to hear of Nancy's Passing. I had just spoken to her the prior week, which I am so happy that I did. She sounded in good spirits which makes me happy. I have known her 20 plus years. I am sad that she is no longer with us, but happy she is in a better place. I will miss her!

I am sad to hear about the passing of Ms. Nancy Knowles. I'm so glad I got to meet Ms. Knowles, several times when she visited the hospital as well as her attendance at the annual EMHC Foundation Gala. She was a very warm and kind person,always showing consideration and awareness of the need to giving back for a worthy cause. She did a good service for the health community and will be missed. My sincere condolescences to the Knowles Family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May your hearts be made firm by the God of all comfort and he give you peace beyond human ability. (Philippians 4:6,7,13)

I'm so grateful for the privilege of having known Nancy during my 30+ years of working at Knowles, and saddened by the news of her passing. Along with Hugh, she was always the considerate, caring, and thoughtful face of a team which held all employees in high regard. Reading of all her accomplishments, I am impressed anew with the story of an extraordinary life well-lived.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My condolences for your loss. I worked for Knowles for 39 years. I always found Nancy a very sharp mind and a very kind, considerate person. She is missed.
