Robin and Judy and families, we are so sorry for your loss of Nancy, and our hearts go out to all of you. We truly understand what you are going through, and will have you in our thoughts. Robin and I have known each other at work forever, it seems. With you in our prayers...

I've not seen Nancy since she was a freshman in our FCHS Band, & I was a sr. in the band. Who knew that we would both choose nursing as a career, & be intent "friends of animals," like we are. I wish I'd gotten to know her better, since HS, but I'll always remember her ready smile, & willingness to work hard, to make our HS band one of the best on the east coast. With sympathy, Louise Dulaney ('69)

I'm sad to learn of Nancy's passing. While I didn't know her well, we were classmates at FCHS and shared band classes together. I wish peace and healing to all who loved her and grieve her loss.

Judy and Robin: My heart goes out to you both and your families. The last few years were really tough for not only her but everyone who loved her. I know that she was crazy about her sisters and neices and nephews. She always caught me up on the latest. She was loved and now we only pray that she has found peace.
