To Guy, Russell & Families: Please accept my sincere sympathy on your mom's passing. Nancy and your dad were my neighbors and friends for many years when they lived on Gilman Street. I also worked with Nancy at Atty. Rosenberg's office and I came to know her very well. She was a lovely person and she was so positive on her outlook of life and people in general. I will keep her in my prayers and your families as well.
