I will never forget sitting at my window in Auburn, Massachusetts waiting for Nana Nancy to pull into the driveway so i could stay with her for the weekend. She was not only my grandmother but my best friend. She was such a caring and loving person. i will never forget playing i-Spy with her in the car or going to the local park so i could play with the other kids. She will always be with me in my heart. I send my condolences to my father Kyle Bosen, My aunt lindsay,her husband Rick, and daughter. May she rest in peace.

Nancy was such a lovely person. My experience with her was through Trinity Church in Melrose, especially the Altar Guild, many, many years ago. Nancy was always a willing volunteer to help with any project need by the Church family. She set a wonderful example for her children. I recall my own love of Pemaquid and she brought a smile to my face when we talked about it. Rest in peace, Nancy, and may the many flowers you arranged be a wonderful greeting in Heaven

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Nancy. I have such fond childhood memories of times with Nancy, Joyce and Donnie at Auntie Barb's house. Times included Nancy teaching me how to ride a 2 wheel bike. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Nancy and family were our neighbors on Linden Rd. while we grew up going to Horace Mann School. My Mom worked so I use to go home to Nancy's house for lunch. Years later my husband and I lived on Lovell Rd. where we raised our family. It was a wonderful treat when Nancy moved in with her family. Always a lovely lady. She will be missed.

Our sincere condolences to the O'Leary family on the loss of Nancy. We were next door neighbors to Barbara and Frank. Nancy was always friendly and made sure she stopped to say hello when she was visiting her mom and dad. Our thoughts are with all of you.

I was so saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. We worked together for many, many years at the Brigham and I've never known such a caring and compassionate person. I am so sorry that we never got to do that lunch that we kept planning on.

I loved Nancy as a sister I never had. I worked with her for over 20 years. We often met others for lunch and I met her for breakfast. I can't express how truly sad that I wont see her again. My condolences for her family.

My condolences to Nancy's family. During the 1950s there were 22 kids on the Green/Elm/Avon/Linden block. We all played together. I have many wonderful memories of playing/being in grade school with Nancy. She had the best charm bracelet, the loveliest sweaters her grandmother knit, every hair in place at all times, the most complete set of Nancy Drew books (she shared!), and was in Scouts with me. Oh, yes, the flut and her smiles! Nancy and Joyce (hi) and Donnie (oh, what excitement on the Block when you were born--we all came to the O'Leary's to have a peek at newborn-you!)--all part of terrific memories. Peace to all the family.

Nancy has been a coworker and dear friend of mine for the last 20 years. One of the most hardworking and thoughtful people I have ever met. We shared stories of our children and most recently our grandchildren. I will miss her terribly. Lindsay and family, please accept my deepest Condolences on the loss of one truly special lady!

My heart goes out to you all in Nancy's family. You have lost a beautiful woman in life, but you have wonderful memories that will live on forever. Nancy was,indeed, a loyal and devoted friend. After meeting at a flute lesson in 7th grade, our friendship flourished all through the years. We spent countless hours chatting on the phone or at breakfast, shopping, baking christmas cookies, or toasting our birthdays with a hot fudge sundae. I will miss Nancy with all my heart.
