I was sorry to hear about Nancy. She chaired the landscaping committee at the Gatherings. She knew a lot about plants and our flower containers always turned out nice. She also arranged the ladies luncheon each month. We all had so much fun. She was a joy to be around. She was so active. We will miss her dearly.

Saddened to learn of Nancy passing. We enjoyed many weekends with her and Bob on our boats on the Bay with the No Namers. She was terrific fun.
