Nancy E Scala

Thinking of Nancy today and I remember how each year she would go through facebook and other photos and make these amazing calendars for people. She took so much time making them right and I absolutely loved it and looked forward to it each year. I miss you Nance!

Dear Nance,
Happy Birthday to the girl who had my back from day one. I miss you more than words can say.
Love Gayle

I have many fond memories of growing up with Nancy as my older sister. She was very popular in HS, which helped pave the way for me with my teachers. She taught me how to catch and throw a baseball, which I'll never forget. She was "King of the Pogo Stick" and was always the clown at family get-togethers. She went through many of the most difficult things one can go through in life, and I was always amazed how strong she was to endure so much loss. I'm not surprised she faced her final battle against this insidious disease- which also took her grandmother- with such poise and bravery, while engulfed by her loved ones. She wouldn't have wanted it any other way, I'm sure. If you can leave this world while leaving a positive mark on those you leave behind, you've led a good life- and it looks and sounds like she did this in spades. Rest in a well-deserved Peace. I will always cherish your memory.

We used to go to Va. beach together. We loved getting knocked over by the waves until we got older & could barely get up again. We would laugh so much, which didn´t help our predicament!

I remember Nancy from our NLG days. Both Nancy and Val were like peas in a pod. I never saw one without the other. Both very welcoming with open arms and open hearts. That´s the memory I will have with Nancy. Always a smile on her face. She will be missed but never forgotten. She has that embracing personality.

I have Nancy's cellphone number in my contacts list and keep wanting to send her a message. It is very hard to admit that she has gone. I admired her love of animals, friends, and family. She was a lovely friend who will be forever missed, however, knowing her battle is over and she is at peace, brings some comfort.

Nancy was just one of those people who you could feel the love and joy she had for life, family and friends. Nancy, myself and Karilyn were called the "midget mafia" at our old workplace. Oh the laughs we shared! Val and Nancy´s love story is one of my favorites and Val, I know you miss her so much. I just can´t imagine.
I was so glad to reconnect with both of you and am happy we had one last FaceTime chat together. Nancy-I miss you and until we see each other again... rest easy friend.
Love to you, Val!

She was a one and only. Honestly the love story between Nancy and Val is one I share with many. What an incredible journey and a testament to the power of love. Sending you peace Val.

I don't really know where to start. I can remember telling you that we were moving back to Virginia Beach and looking for a house. You made sure to tell me that I couldn't live more than 5 minutes away...lol...who knew it was going to be around the corner? The little time we got to spend together meant the world to me. Playing LRC, watching the air show from your backyard , celebrating the 4th of July, and our favorite, fishing, and just getting together for dinner. Simone and I went from being friends to family. You always made us feel welcomed and loved. I will always carry a piece of you in my heart, Nancy, for this wasn't goodbye; it was see you later. RIP, my sweet friend.

My sweet Nancy, I still cannot believe that you are gone. My heart is broken, I miss you so much and I will love you forever.

We will miss her always. She was a big part of Carey and my life through good and bad times she was always there. There are no words to describe the emptiness we feel. Rest in peace my friend...until we meet again..we love you always

Nancy never met a stranger. Everyone that she met loved her instantly. She was kind and giving always. She would do anything for anyone without batting an eye. The world is a better place because Nancy was here. She will be surely missed.

Nancy was always there for anyone and kind hearted. Will miss her terribly and my thoughts and sending strength to the family.

The first time I met Nancy I had been invited to a pool party/cookout. She was a very kind and a decent human! We need more people like her. She will be truly missed. It is amazing to see the out pouring of love for her. May she rest in paradise. I will pray for Val and all.of their family.

She was always so welcoming into her home, her pool. Very kind hearted

Nancy was so supportive of me when I first met Kim through a friend named Alec. I loved all of our late night talks and her words of encouragement. Forever I will cherish the those moments because they always meant so much to me. My wife, Kayla, and I send our thoughts and prayers.

Nancy was someone who was a person who supported you, a loyal friend, an ear to listen when you needed it, a joy to be around, and a co-worker like no other. I will always cherish the cookouts, the game nights, our trip to NYC pride in 2006 (the pictures I've posted), and the welcoming personality she gave everyone. She was one of kind and will be greatly missed.

We grew up together we hung out she was one of my best friends she was a great friend I will miss her so much
