So sorry my friends. Phil, Caitlin my heart breaks for you all. I will miss her laugh, her smile, her hug when I would walk through the door for a family gathering. I would hear Nancy before I even entered the Iannaccone house. She would yell (scream) my name with her cheerful (rowdy) voice...then the shenanigans would begin. Only Nancy with her big smile and awesome personality could bring so much laughter even if you were having a bad day. So many funny times and great memories with her. Gone too soon Nancy, rest easy now and give everyone a hug for me. See you, when I see you.

Nancy was the greatest neighbor ever! My brothers and I used to ride our bikes up to the bank to hang out with Nancy on her lunch break. I will truly miss Nancy´s wine time on the deck during the summer. The Noonan´s love you so much Nancy / Phil!

I have so many loving memories of Nancy. She was like a big sister to me growing up. She was kind and easy to talk to. Her laugh was contagious. She was always so much fun to be with. She was a loving, caring auntie to my kids who love her so very much. Some of my fondest memories include her and the entire Iannaccone family which she always allowed me to be part of. My heart is broken for you all, especially for Caitlin. Losing your mother is so difficult. I picture her and Christy along with Nana, Gramps, Anthony, Richard and my parents gathered around watching over us all.. it’s the only comfort I have with the loss of each one of them. Hugs and prayers for strength and healing for the family and friends who will miss her so deeply.

In my minds eye I see Mr. & Mrs Iannaccone holding hands. Mr I has his arm around Richard, Mrs. I has her arm around Nancy, Nancy has her arm around Anthony and Richard has his arm around Chrissy. They are all smiling. This image gives me comfort. Thank you Nancy for a wonderful friendship. I will treasure it always. Some of the best times of my life included you. I will miss you.
