My dear friend:
One year ago we lost you. It doesn't seem possible. Not a day goes by where you are not thought of. So many times I reached for the phone wanting to get your opinion, advice or to gab about anything and everything. How I miss the marathon calls or our infamous dinner dates where we would stay until they started vacuuming the carpet or sweeping the floor (hint....time to go home)! I'd give anything to have those times again. A huge void in my life and many others will always be there but I know you are guiding us from above. I miss you and always will. Rest easy and one day we will be at the table enjoying a piece of chocolate cake! Love you kiddo.

Nanc:
Last night we (John, Rene and myself) attended a lovely memorial service at MGH. Finally, we got to meet Dr. Younger and your nurse practitioner, Nancy and personally thank them for the wonderful care they gave you. It was nice to put a face to the name after all these years. Your beautiful face came across the screen. Of course, I just wanted to reach out and give you a big hug!
This weekend Team Dessert First participates in the Avon Walk. You would be pleased to know we raised over $11K. Lynn is setting up a fabulous dessert table in your honor and memory. We also made special t-shirts. Photo to follow after the walk. You probably think we are nuts trying to walk 39 miles, but there's not much we wouldn't do for you!!
Keep smiling down upon us. Your spirit and strength guide us every day. I miss you and my b'day won't be the same without you, but we will have a nice toast and a chocolate in your honor!
Love you g'friend,
Sheryl

John and family,
I just found out about Nancy's passing today. I am saddened by the news. She was a wonderful, caring and loving person and she will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. I wish I had know at the time of her passing, I would have wanted to pay my respects.

Dear John,
I worked with Nancy many years ago at Amphenol when we were both single girls in a very male field. She was one of the most fun, classy, intelligent women I'd ever met, and a great role model. She was a friend and a mentor. You two began dating during that period, and although I never met you, it was clear that she was both surprised and delighted to have found the man who would become the love of her life. We lost touch, but in reading her obituary it is clear she found both happiness and purpose in your life together. I am so very sorry for your loss. Our loss.

Dear John and family,
May God bless you and give you comfort during this time of sorrow. We were very glad to meet Nancy in person several years ago at the anniversary. She was such a fun, loving person. She will be missed dearly.

Dear Nanc:
Last night we celebrated Rene's birthday. It was the first celebration without you, but you would be glad to know that your wonderful husband John joined us, as well as our dear friend Bob (who of course provided us with lots of laughter). Rene brought delicious chocolates to toast in your honor; it was all very fitting. Gigi spoke of the memories of your "Irish" conversations.
A nice time was had by all, but of course, we miss you dearly every day. It's still hard to get our arms around your passing. I feel your presence though daily, and that gives me great comfort.
I miss you my dear friend. I hope you are enjoying a piece of chocolate cake!
Love you,
Sheryl

John,
Your obituary was beautiful and truly from the heart.
My wife wept when she heard the news. Neither of us had the privilege of meeting Nancy, but I heard so much from you over the years and relayed it all to Suzanne. Just from those stories, Suzanne knew that we all should be struck by the loss of such a wonderful soul. The story of a woman of immense bravery and generosity, who suffered with such a hard trial yet defied the odds and lived her life on her terms and with unbelievable grace and courage, is a story that inspired the both of us. Your love for each other was so clear and genuine, it is a model and lesson that every husband and wife can appreciate.
For me, the defining story about Nancy came in that e-mail exchange we had a few weeks ago regarding Adam and Nancy's nurse. I can only imagine that her condition was not good if she was in the hospital, but there she was thinking about somebody else's happpiness! I can't imagine any of us would be so selfless in that situation (justifiably so, most would say), but Nancy sets the standard higher than normal people.
May God keep you and console you and your family in this sad time. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I feel bad that it has taken me so long to write but I just could not think of the right words and the right way to say them...My aunt Nancy and I had a special bond starting from when I was very young. We did everything you could think of together, from playing dog trainer with me in my basement when I was young (yes, that was a game in my book) to taking me down to Georgia for my college orientation in June 2010. She was more than an aunt to me..she was a best friend, supporter, cheerleader and a role model. I really enjoyed my february vacations from school when I would go up to see her & my uncle John..the visits were always filled with fun and a lot of laughs. I am thankful for all of the wonderful memories I have of her and also that most of them are happy ones...I say most because I never enjoyed being poked in the back when she wanted me to stand up straight. However, she always had the best intentions and she wanted nothing but the best for me. Every birthday my aunt Nancy would ask me what I wanted...usually I would say money, but with her I always asked for something sentimental. I will forever treasure the beautiful gifts her and my uncle John gave me. They bring me joy every time I put on the pearl necklace or the blue topaz ring. My last visit with my Aunt Nancy was in August, right before I left for school...I am thankful every single day that I visited and got to share a few more laughs with her. I looked forward to our phone conversations that we frequently had, I would clear my schedule for hours knowing that we would have a marathon conversation that lasted hours. When I remember all of the memories that I have made with my Aunt Nancy I always remember that there was another very special person that was there to share them with us... My Uncle John. When I think of her, I think of him. They were perfect..so affectionate & compassionate towards each other. I have always admired the love that they shared and I aspire to be like that someday. Uncle John, you mean so much to me & I am so happy to have you in my life & know that I always will. I wanted to thank you for also being such an important part of my life & always being such a big supporter and cheerleader for me. I love you for being the husband that you were to my Aunt but I love you even more for being the Uncle that you are to me.
I will miss my aunt every single day...especially on the day of my college graduation & the day I get married..I know how bad she wanted to be there for those occasions. However, I know she is always with me & always will be ...as will my uncle John who will be proud enough for the two of them.
I will forever remember her big and bright smile & her laugh..the way she always answered the phone with a happy tone and the way she was always so excited and pleased to see whoever walked through the door. Her hugs and love will remain in my heart forever. I will always admire her for the strength she showed, her strong personality, her courage, fearlessness, generosity, love for everyone and the everlasting legacy that she has left behind.
Forever in my heart, I love you!

John, I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy several years ago when she visited her sister Kathy in Birmingham, AL. I worked with Kathy for 12 years, so feel like I know you, Nancy, and the rest of the Luke clan! Nancy was such a genuine, caring, and lovable person, and all of that became evident in one all too brief lunch. I have no doubt that she will be missed by many, and Im so glad I had that opportunity to meet her. I pray for Gods peace for you all.

Dear John:
I just wanted to thank you for everything you did last week arranging Nancy's service. This was a very difficult task, but of course, everything you put together was well thought out and caring. From the photographs, to the flowers, to the eulogy, and to the reception, you didn't miss a beat. She would have been so proud of you (as always).
I hope you are doing ok; I think of you daily and hope that the wonderful memories you have of Nancy will bring a smile to your face.
I miss my dear friend already.
Be well,
Sheryl

Dear John, My deepest sympathy to you and all of Nancy's family. Nancy was one of my roomates at Bryant College during the years of 1973-1975. She was the smartest one of all of us! Always laughing and keeping us all laughing. I lost touch after graduation for a while but we somehow got in touch with each other through the years. When she mentioned to me that she got together with some of the Bryant Girls, I asked if I could attend so that I could see her once a year. Well those weekends were the best time in my life with Nancy. We had many good times talking about family, life, and marriage. Her love for you was so evident when she spoke about you. I will miss her but know she is with the Lord and all the angels. I'll miss you, Nancy, but I will see you again.

John,
We are not sure if you are indeed the John Zimmerman whom we knew from ADP so many years ago.....but if you are, we are saddened for you. The obituary was a tribute to the love and adoration you had for Nancy. We are so sorry for your loss. And if in fact, you are not the John we knew from years ago, we still offer your our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. Nancy was a lovely woman.

John and the Luke Family,
Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Nancy however we are confident she is in the arms of the Lord and grateful that we were privileged to know such a wonderful person, wife, sister-inlaw, and Godmother and Aunt to our children. We had such a wonderful time visiting you in July 2011 and are grateful that Richard and Audrey were able to spend some quality time with the two of you over the 4th of July weekend. I also cherish the time when the two of you hosted our parents 50th wedding anniversary 10 years ago and the graciousness displayed by the two of you. I fondly recall many of Nancy's stories about her Irish and Catholic upbringing, her friends and family, and her being at weddings and trying to decide if the bride "won" by getting a shorter or simpler last name. She always said she lost in that last matter going from a Luke to a Zimmerman but in every other measure of her marriage she was a complete winner and that was always evident to everyone around her. I also recall her stories of time spent with our father particularly on the farm in Mississippi especially the time when she was certain that John was a goner as he was helping Dad pull a tree down with the tractor.
We will all miss Nancy greatly but are sure she is in a better place now enjoying a nice dessert and beverage with her father, Nanie, our father, and other friends and family members who have passed.

It was my great pleasure meeting Nancy last time and had a great fun with you both in Marblehead. Her warmth and kindness really touched my heart. I feel sad and regret that my kids will never have a chance to meet her. May God bless and she will always be in our prayer.
Nancy's Birthday Dinner 2011 - BFFs
Gigi/Stan Tappan
November 9, 2011
To John and the Luke/Zimmerman families,
With heavy hearts, we wish to extend our sincere sympathy to all of you. Nancy was a gift from God--caring, loving and an exceptional friend.
I have known Nancy for many years. I did not know her well at Bryant. Recently, however, a Bryant friend from Chicago mentioned to me that "Nancy was always at the head of the class". She remembered a smart, dedicated college girl.
Through the years, Nancy and I found many a common ground. One thing we loved chatting about was our Irish heritage. We both had grandmothers who were the center of our universe. We often would tell stories about them and, of course, say it with an Irish brogue. Nancy's sense of humor was always quite evident as she loved to laugh! Our friend, Bob, was one friend who could bring her to tears laughing. She knew how to have fun!
I so looked forward to our birthday dinners over the years--Nancy, Sheryl, Rene and me. As it is well-documented, Nancy lived for desserts! That empty seat at the restaurant will be very difficult at the next birthday dinner. One thing is for sure, we will have chocolate in Nancy's honor.
Nancy's love of life and putting family and friends first is what I will remember most about her. The smile on her face could be visible from across a room as she was genuinely glad to see you. If she had a bad day, you would never know it. She would always make the conversation about you.
Her 50th birthday party is one of the best times we shared. John, as usual, thought of every detail. Nancy always told us how "blessed" she was to have John. Her positive outlook and wonderful husband are what gave her those 9 years. We are so thankful we had that time with her.
Today I looked at my phone under "contacts" and saw "Nancy Z." I don't think I can ever erase that entry. I also can never erase my happy memories of Nancy. She brought out the best in everybody.
A fighter to the end! Gone from this world, but never forgotten.
May the angels lead you home as you enter everlasting rest.

Saki & I send our heartfelt condolences to all of you - John, her mom, sister, brother, nieces & nephews and all those she graced with her friendship.
I have known Nancy since high school although our friendship did not blossom until after we left Sacred Heart. As I write this, my heart is so heavy - with sadness of knowing I will not see Nancy's smile in person again but it is also heavy with gratitude for the time we spent together and for the wonderful life she shared with John. She always took great pride in the fact that we wanted to clone him for ourselves!
I smile whenever I think of how she loved her desserts! Be it picking a restaurant to meet because they served a warm chocolate chip cookie in a pan or on her wedding day thoroughly enjoying the cake - the main course was for everyone else. We should all take an important life lesson from our dear friend, always eat dessert first - savor every moment of what makes you happy…
Nancy, while you have always repeatedly told us, you are the luckiest girl - we, too, feel very lucky to have had you in our lives… Words that immediately come to my mind when describing you: kind, considerate, happy, fun loving, classy, sincere, courageous, brave…and thankfully “Rene's friend” … I miss our chats already…

Even though I only met you and Nancy once at Joe's birthday party, you both left a lasting impression on me. Nancy was so easy to talk with and it was easy to see what a wonderful person she was. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

To John and the entire Luke family:
My heart is so heavy. Losing Nancy all seems very surreal to me. I still keep reaching for the phone wanting to tell her everything that's going on. I know she would be "blushing" if she knew how everyone was fussing over her right now.
As you know, we shared 37 years of an incredible friendship. From those first days at Bryant back in 1974 where she greeted me w/ her trademark smile to her last day on this earth, we always had something to talk about. There was never a lull in conversation (a testament to our marathon phone calls!). I was the luckiest girl in the world to have had her as my BFF. She was one of the most inspirational people in my life, particularly in the last nine years while she fought cancer with a vengance. She never complained, she just kept on going. Nothing every got in her way. But that was Nancy, always a head of the pack, always striving to make everyone feel warm and comfortable. She really was the "wind beneath everyone's wings".
On a lighter note, I fondly recall sitting in a New Haven restaurant many moons ago with Nancy, and our dear friend Rene. We all know Nancy had the biggest sweet tooth in town. When the waitress came over to take the order, Nancy said, I think I'll skip the entree, I'll just have one of the dessert specials....a 12" chocolate chip cookie! She ate the whole thing and left the restaurant w/ a grin from ear to ear!
We shared many a dessert over the years and the two of us could just get high sitting around chatting about anything and everything. We didn't need any other form of entertainment.
Nancy couldn't have had a better spouse than John. You were both a match made in heaven, true soulmates in every sense of the word. Your love for each other was so evident all the time. Thank you John for taking such good care of her; it didn't go unnoticed. And you know the famous joke around the table with us girls; we all wanted a husband like you!
To her Mom, siblings, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews; how lucky you are to have each other. Nancy raved about all of you all the time. She always looked forward to every family vacation and holiday. She would call me when she returned, and tell me how fabulous it all was. You will be able to hang on to all those memories and then some, and I hope that will help you get through the days, weeks and months ahead.
I thank each and every one of you for sharing her with me. I feel truly blessed.
So two things before I sign off:
- I'm sure Nancy is sitting on the porch now with her Dad and her beloved Nanie sharing a cocktail overlooking the ocean. Nanie also probably greeted her in her red high heels too!
- Nanc, be sure to save me a seat at the dessert table; I'll be looking forward to sharing another another cup of cappucino and a piece of chocolate cake with you. I can then fill you in on all the latest gossip.
May God hold you in the palm of his hands. I miss you already my beautiful friend, rest in peace.
Love you,
Sheryl

Nancy, We were college roomates (me, you, Laura, Sheryl, Nancy and Janyce.) We had so many good times and shared so many secrets. I'm so glad that we were reconnected via facebook and I had the chance to speak with you. You will always hold a special place in my heart and cannot believe that someone as loving and kind as you has passed at such an early age. I love you and am sure we will be reunited again some day....

A fun "puppy fix" for Nancy
Margo Hansen
November 8, 2011
It is very rare and special to meet someone of Nancy's caliber. Someone so caring, loving, fun, witty, sensible, intelligent, talented, gracious, faithful, true, honest and generous. How blessed we are to have had the honor.
We will always remember Nancy's respect and warmth for everyone she encountered. We will cherish the memory of how, with her love of life and her contagious laugh, she brought joy and laughter into the lives of so many. We will miss her radiant smile, her sense of humor, her love and her loveliness. We will miss her stopping by for a “puppy fix” and her delightful giggles we enjoyed as she watched the antics of our puppies. We will miss her excited willingness to drop everything to go to a Red Sox game with us – almost always - at the last minute. We are so grateful for your friendship and will miss you terribly.
Nancy was, in a word, extraordinary – as is the void her death leaves. Nancy was proof that angels walk among us – and now she walks with Him.
John, to Nancy's credit – and, yes, good fortune, she married someone just as extraordinary. We treasure you and our hearts ache for you.
Our love and our profound sympathy to you and Nancy's family and countless friends.

John and Nancy's Family,
I have know Nancy for about 20 years. We met when we both worked for Methode Electronics. Our friendship has grown over the years. I feel honored to have been her friend.
Words cannot capture Nancy's aura or essence. I think that so many people loved her because she gave love so freely to her friends and family. She so appreciated her friends and family and especially you John. Yours was a match made in heaven. Especially since her beloved "nanie" prayed that she would find a wonderful man to marry and she did. I hope that knowing how much others cared and loved her will bring some comfort to you. I will miss my dear friend Nancy, and I will keep my memories of her in my heart. I pray that God will comfort all of us in our loss of this special woman.
November 8, 2011
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and all your family. We at Sacred Heart Academy are remembering you in prayer and are forever grateful for the mark that Nancy left during her 4 years here. May all your memories of her give you inner strength and bring a smile to your heart.

Nancy was such a Beautiful Person! Her soul resonated Grace, Love and Laughter. We relish ALL of the lasting Family memories we've cherished over the years and now, quite especially, the fun we just had in July 2011. It was our complete privilege to once again share Nancy's warm spirit and generous heart, as she took us to the Farmers Market, beach for kite making/flying, July 4th fest (the kids LOVED), held girl talk and planned/made those delicious meals...all, as she battled physically, and yet enjoyed each moment with Family; blessing our lives with her presence! There will be a spot lost in each of our Hearts, filled only by the knowledge that Nancy immediately saw the face of God. We love you, John! God Bless You and ne'er a day will go by that we won't be here for you!!

To our dear friend John & to Nancy's loving family,
Our hearts are heavy with sadness on the loss of our beloved Nancy. Yet, we are compelled to reflect on how beautifully she touched each of our lives. What started as simply girlfriends nearly 25 years ago, blossomed into a beautiful bond of friendship between our two families.
DEVOTED..COMPASSIONATE..STRONG..FAITHFUL..SELFLESS..FUNNY..LOVING.. THOUGHTFUL. These are the words which come to mind when we think of Nancy. Nancy was able to demonstrate so easily, what we all wish for in a true friend; Someone who allows us to grow separately without growing apart, Someone who is able to rekindle our inner spirit when our inner flame goes out, Someone whose sweet and infectious laughter brings utter joy and happiness to our lives. Nancy validated all that friendship can be, and her love always beautifully unconditional. We couldn't feel more blessed & grateful to have had Nancy touch each of our lives, and be able to call her our friend. We will forever hold her memory close in our hearts.
Our Deepest Sympathy & Love,
Lynn, Brian & Victoria

As I attempt to write Nancy's obituary and eulogy, I look forward to hearing from her family and friends' remembrances of her life. In a very selfish way I ask you to share your fondest memories of Nancy, particularly the many happy and oft times hilarious experiences she helped create with you.
The night before she died, Nancy told me that she truly had a great life, albeit shorter than she and I would have liked. She was so very grateful for the love and friendship she shared with you. She said the love she poured out to you returned to her a hundredfold, for which she and I are forever grateful. Please join me in celebrating Nancy's magnificent and amazing life. May she live in our hearts forever.

John and family: You know how much Ted and I love you and Nancy and that we share our love for many things and our hated for all things cancer. Nancy faced her cancer with dignity and grace. She was a power of example to all of us and a tower of strength.

I met Nancy about 30 years ago when she was a young engineer at Spectra Strip in CT. and then she became a sales person and called on me for a number of years. I can tell you that without question Nancy was one of the nicest, kindest, & caring people I have ever met. She sent flowers when my children we born and always asked how they were doing..
Your grief is shared with all who knew Nancy.
I will miss her.
