I still cannot believe this is real and that you aren´t coming into work to brighten my day as well as the residents. You are missed so much and loved by so many. I hope your dancing in the sky, watch over us all and know you made so many imprints on others lives including my own. May you rest in peace! I´m going to continue karaoke night for the residents in memory of the brightness you brought into their lives. Forever remembered and missed

My special memories of Nancy first start as my supervisor at TelHai, she was a true friend, quick to lend a hand, she really loved helping her residents, compassionate, soft words of relief, quick on her feet. She was the warm hand, soft voice of reason. She will be missed.

Nancy with the laughing face! Always a bright warm smile and an infectious laugh. I don´t know how it happened... But even as a teenager she was a pleasure to be around. Always responsible and mature. Before she was old enough to drive I remember taking her Xmas shopping. We both laughed at something so hard we both cried. As a teenager bussed tables on weekends for her own money. Always a hard worker. I remember a story her father enjoyed telling. When Nancy was still a young child. She had a paper route. When Saturday morning came around to collect the money due for the papers she delivered. She took the family dog, Auggie, a Great Dane with her to ensure she got paid for her hard work. She had a certain sophistication about her and the ability at a young age to really enjoy and participate fully in life. I was glad to be a part of that. Her loving personality made me want to keep her close as my friend. Long after she grew into adulthood. I spent chunks of time visiting her and her family in West Chester over many years. Nancy loved hard. And I loved her back. These are the memories I will hold in my heart. Missing you, my dear friend.
