My prayers are with the family and friends of this sweet and kid person.
Even though I haven't seen her in a while, I remember her smile.
She always laughed at my bad jokes!
I am saddened by the news, but glad that I was fortunate to have crossed paths with this sweet lady.

I am very sorry to hear about Nancy. We worked together for many years at Sedgwick. She was a fun person to work with. She was loved by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief. May your memories of Nancy bring you comfort.

Dear Textors, Cornelsons and Coles,
Am thinking about you all tonight and wish I could be there at the visitation. It would have been great to meet Nancy and Nick's Chicago friends and hear their "Nancy stories." She IS a treasure, and the Texas Nancy stories will live on. I'll be sure to say prayers for you in the morning while you're at the church service. Hope to see you in Austin Saturday morning. With much love -- Caren "C.B."

Nick,
Barb and I were very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife so quickly after Barbara Fox and Karen Lange had called us earlier this week about Nancy's condition. Our condolences to you and her family.

I will always cherish the fun times and special memories I've shared with Nancy. She always made me laugh, even if it was in the middle of a yoga class. My life has been blessed by knowing her.

Nancy was a great friend and co-worker and will be truly missed. I'll always have my memory's of volunteering with her at the homeless shelter and her "volunteer juice" that helped us pass the time. A truly fun and vibrant woman who always lit up the room -

Nancy was a wonderful friend and great co-worker. We met at Sedgwick and continued on to Marsh. I love that she never lost that Texas accent. I will miss her very much.

Hi Nick,
It has been a long time since we have seen one another --- we do, however, share in your loss. We have the days at Sargent & Lundy and a few visits after as our memories and I feel bad that we never really got to know Nancy other than at Christmas when we exchanged a few greetings. I am sure she was a wonderful person and that she made your life complete. Our prayers are with you and we are still at the same place and are ready to help in any way we can.........
Much Love Always,
Evelyn and John Wersyn
