Steve, I am so sorry for your loss and to hear that Nancy's bright light in the world has passed. I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy at the Healing Garden, and instantly we were friends. She had such a positive spirit. It was a comfort to be with someone my age who shared a similar circumstance. I was lucky to know her and to call her my friend. My prayers are with you.

Steve, So terribly saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. She was such a great friend and a wonderful, bright light during my time in Lincoln. Her ability to persevere with courage in the face of such an awful disease is a testament to her wonderful spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. xoxo

I am heartbroken and saddened by Nancy's passing, but amazed and inspired by her life. I spent two fun-filled years as her roommate in college. She was an incredible friend with a huge, caring heart and an unforgettable smile and laugh. It's no surprise that she went on to become an exceptional teacher, a devoted and loving wife, and an inspiration to so many. She was so very special. Wishing peace and comfort to Nancy's husband, family and friends.

She was a very special young woman who lived with this horrible disease with great dignity and courage. As part of her extended family, it was a pleasure to know her through all of her loved ones and to have had the privilege of being with her from time to time. Our hearts are with those she left behind.

Dear Steven and Members of the Pollock Family,
I am profoundly saddened to learn of Nancy's death. I had the privilege of hiring her in 1994, attending her wedding, and co-teaching with her several times while I was superintendent in Lincoln. She was always such a sunny, caring, and spirited person. I will miss her laugh, her devotion to her parents, and her steadfast love of her husband. I will never forget her courage when she was first diagnosed with cancer, how she rallied, and how she mentored children in our community who also faced the same dilemmas as she. She was taken from us too soon, and the world is diminished by her passing. She is a model of a life well lived.
My sincerest condolences to you all.
Sincerely yours,
Mark McQuillan

I have know Nancy since our college days. We shared a very dear mutual friend and Nancy and I also shared a birthday -forever connecting us. Nancy had a tremendous spirit, a fantastic giggle and and had a kind and compassionate soul. Her strength and perseverance was in inspiration. May her memory provide you with the courage and humor you need to get through this challenging time.

Very sad to hear of Nancy's passing. Nancy was my teacher at Rashi around 1990/1991, and I still remember her quite vividly. It must have been one of her first years teaching. To this day I still remember how kind and fun she was. Sending support to her family, friends, and the hundreds of kids she taught over the years.

Ms. Pollock was my fourth grade teacher. She had a way of making each child in her class feel like they were the most important one through her kind, encouraging words and attention. I will forever be grateful to her for building my confidence as a student. Ms. Pollock inspired me to become a teacher and I now have my own 4th grade class. She taught me to always have a love and passion for learning and for life. I am so very sad to hear of her passing.

Although we had not seen each other in years, I can almost hear her infectious laugh looking at this beautiful picture. Since I learned of her passing, so many happy memories have come to mind. What an incredibly strong woman who I am very fortunate and honored to have known. Thinking of you Steve and sending my thoughts and prayers.

Our son had Nancy Pollock for 4th grade (about 18 years ago!) until her illness first emerged and loved her class. Her romance with Steve McDonough, a much loved gym teacher by all our kids, was the talk of the school. Wonderful people. Best wishes from all the Walker family in Lincoln.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. She was a kind and sweet person. My condolences to the Pollock family.
September 8, 2015
What an outgoing, bubbly person! Nancy loved her students, and they loved her. She told me once that it was important to her for people to just talk "regular" stuff with her, rather than see her as the person with cancer and inquire about her health. What an amazing lady! For several years, I had the pleasure of working with both her and her wonderful husband.

Nancy and I were good friends in middle school. I recall both her maturity and positive attitude through difficult circumstances, her surgery as well as the usual middle school fare. I always appreciated the warmth and humor of Nancy and her family during those years. Sending a wish for peace out to Nancy's family today.
