I was so saddened to hear of Nancy's sudden death. I lived next door to Nancy for most of her teenage years and I knew then that she would be an amazing woman and a wonderful mother. She was the first babysitter my children had and they loved her. Nancy and her mother had such a loving relationship which I knew would be passed on to her children and her husband. My prayers and thoughts are with her children, her husband, her father, and her brothers and sisters-in-law. It is a terribly sad for everyone who loved her. Sincerely, Mary Stewart

Dear Meredith and family,
I met your mom on the bleachers during one of your softball games. She was immediately likeable and had a great sense of humor. I am so extremely sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts and many, many prayers are with you all.

Dear Meredith and Cooper, I lost my Mom when she was 49. I do understand a little how you may feel . It is just not fair. But please know that even though it truly isn't fair, it will be okay. Your Mom's love is so great that even in death it will not go away. Her love is all around you and in time you will be able to see and feel that precious love.

Dear Larry, Meredith and Cooper,
While I can not imagine these words will help you now, it is my hope that some day you will look back and realize how many lives your mom touched, including mine. I worked with Nancy several years ago, and immediately developed a respect for her knowledge of the business, and just simply liked her. Her smart as a whip intelligence, quick sense of humor and general kindness, made a lasting impression on me. As a matter of fact, I will never forget how touched I was that she drove to the northside of Milwaukee to deliver a gift and visit me after the birth of my first child. I have no doubt that she will live on in all of you in so very many ways. I am sincerely sorry for your loss and will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. My best to all of you.
