I was heart broken to hear of Nancy's passing. I I worked with her for years in New Business at Berkshire Life and we had some fun times! Nancy was one of the most amazing people I know. Always smiling, always dressed perfectly, hair was always perfect and what an amazing personality she had. When Nancy left Berkshire Life, I loved that we could stay in touch via Face Book. Loved her posts about food she was making or other things she was doing. Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed by many...and also remembered fondly by many.

Linda and Family,

My heart sunk as I read of Nancy's untimely passing. She was a kind and gentle soul who made everyone around her smile with that infectious smile of hers. Always cheerful and upbeat; she lit up any room she entered. Heaven has a new, very precious, angel. I know she'll watch over you with love.

My thoughts are with you as you grieve and my hope is that your heavy hearts will soon be lifted and filled with fond memories of Nancy. May she rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Doreen
