Going through old photos, I wanted to send a copy of this photo to my old playmate, Nancy. I researched her name and was shocked and saddened to read her obituary. May her memory be a blessing to her family. I offer my sincere condolences.

Dear Dawn, Jake, and Lily. We were all so sorry to learn of Nancy's passing and our hearts go out to all of you. I wanted to send a card and was looking for an address for you, but thought I would at least get a message to you here to let you know that we are thinking of you. I hope I get to see you sometime in the old neighborhood soon. Love to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words.

Nancy was a force to be reckoned with and fought for those she loved and who needed her. She loved you all endlessly. She still does.

I´ve known Nancy from way back in DA´s office and later as opponent in court- she was extremely smart and dedicated advocate. I met her son Jake in court recently and it appears her spirit and legacy will not disappear. RIP Nancy
