To Nancy´s family & friends-Over the course of many years when I´d be in town, I met her at dinners of mutual friends. I enjoyed chatting with her, and was struck by her interest and curiosity about those she met, and the kindness & thoughtfulness she bestowed on those in her life. A gentle and lovely soul. I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked in same child welfare office as Nancy for a number of years. Her sense of humor made a difficult job a bit easier So sorry for her family's loss

Peggy Woolf is so right -- Nan was a great friend, always so caring. I miss her already.

Nan would write notes on little slips of paper. They usually had a little flower sticker or some kind of decoration. She would write individual ones to everyone in the neighborhood. We started calling them Nan Notes. We still have a collection if them.

Nan was a wonderful friend who will be greatly missed.
