Kristen -
It was a pleasure to have known your mother. She over came obstacles that most people could not imagine to be a part of daily life....and always with a lovely smile and an upbeat tone. Be proud of her, she was an extraordinary individual and she is sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy was the most optimistic person I have ever met! She spoke fondly of her family and always had a kind word or something inspirational to say--she truely saw good in every situation.

Nancy was so proud of you, Kristen. Whenever I talked to her in the halls of SDM she always had a tennis story for me about you and your accomplishments. I will miss her smile and sunny disposition. May God Bless You and keep you during this time.
