I was so sad to hear of Nancy's passing. She was kind, funny, intelligent and incredibly hard working. We were colleagues for a number of years at CIIS. I always knew, no matter what, she could figure out whatever tangled administrative mess I brought to her and do so with kindness, a smile and candy:). To her family, I offer you my deepest condolences. Nancy will be missed.

I send my condolences to Nancy's family and honor her contributions to CIIS as a dedicated and compassionate registrar. Nancy spread her sweetness around her and I was fortunate to benefit from it. Her legacy lives on in the structures she created at CIIS and the many students whose records she kept to enable them to get their degrees.

With great sadness I learned of Nancy's passing and I wanted to share my condolences with her family and friends. Nancy was a bright spirit at CIIS at times when there was a lot of darkness in our halls. She was a special woman and greatly admired.

My deepest sympathies go out to Nancy's family and friends. I was a faculty member in her large fan club at CIIS, and why not? She was upbeat, competent, and a joy to work with. I will always consider her to be one of the "angels" who have crossed my path, a rare and special person who touched my life for a time.

I still remember the day that Nancy said "yes" to my job offer to be Registrar at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I was overjoyed! Nancy brought her unique vision of what we needed at that time and got busy creating a professional and well-run department. Her dedication to CIIS and kind spirit inspired me and made her a pleasure to work with. Rest gently in peace, Nancy, and know that you live on in the hearts and minds of those who were fortunate to know you.

How awful that Nancy is no longer with us! Nancy and I worked together for several years at CIIS and I always enjoyed our interactions, whether work related or personal. She was always generous with her time, her smile and her bottomless stash of M&Ms. She was a hard-worker who also knew how to have fun and even when she was not feeling well could project happiness. I will raise a glass of white wine in her honor! My condolences to her family - my heart goes out to you.

Nancy was such an amazing blend of compassion, structure and strength. I have missed her since she left the bay area. She started out as my boss at CIIS and turned into a dear friend. My heart goes out to her family. Linda, thank you for being there for Nancy. I know it meant so much to her. I will miss her.

Nancy and I worked together at CIIS were she was the registrar. She is the one who hired me and gave me a chance. Nancy had a heart of gold. I remember days when she was not feeling well but she still helped students and staff with a smile. She was a strong woman who did not let her illness slow her down. I will remember her smile and when her face would light up when she talked about her cat. Most important, I will miss the friendship and words of encouragment. To the family, I am sorry for your loss.

Nancy was a dear friend, and I will miss her greatly. In our years together at CIIS in San Francisco we spent much time together, laughing and sometimes crying our way through the days. Nancy, even when things got rough, remained a pillar of strength, and determination. I will miss her.

I will always remember Nancy for her warmth and compassion, not to mention her love for sweets! She helped me through a tough time in a way that only someone who has suffered herself could do. I will miss her dearly.

Nancy and I came to know each other through our personal struggles with multiple sclerosis. Though our introduction was because of the disease we shared, I felt our connection went far beyond that. Nancy was a sweet, loving soul who could put her own suffering aside to give comfort and support to a friend in need. No words can express the sadness I feel at the news of her passing. To her family: my sincerest condolences. She will be in my thoughts always.

I have missed Nancy since she left CIIS and moved to Montana. Her care and compassion for students was unmatched and while mainaining a great sense of humor she could draw the line. We shared cat stories and whose cat is smarter Hunter verses Mason. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. You are in my prayers.
