Not sure what to say?

Nancy was fabulous!!!! Awesome sense of humor. Taught me a lot. Lucky to know her.

As I sit to write this, words that come fail to express my true emotion. First thought, Nancy's children, grandchildren and their loss with a heavy heart. She demonstrated boundless empathy for her family, for others, a true gift of character, her humanity. Nancy was a warrior, a kindred spirit, truly insightful, most definitely an irreplaceable soul. To JIm, our love. To a dear treasure, there are no goodbyes, wherever you'll be, you'll be in our hearts!! As always, my love, Wanda

Dear Nancy, Thank you for being so loving to Maya. You were, and always will be, an inspiration to those of us who knew you for you love of life and fighting spirit. Your pain is gone now so you can Rest In Peace. You made us better people for knowing you. To your family, thank you for sharing Nancy with us!

Jodi, Greg and Chris so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a bright spirit. I have many memories of her from Cliff Ave esp running down the street to take control when the police showed up to bust up our HS grad party at my house and my parents weren't home yet. She also was very generous with her pottery wheel letting me throw pots when I was into that. RIP
