I got to know Nancy when we were little kids. My Father worked with her Dad and our parents became life long friends! In fact, Nancy's Mom and Dad are my God Parents! I remember Nancy as always fun to be around and always enjoyed parties our parents took us to and still stay in touch with her brothers. It was a bonus to find out my high school buddy (Pete Swan) Married Nancy adding him to a great family! God Bless and keep her. Terry Mc Hugh

I'm so sorry for all Nancy's family & friends who undoubtedly will have a huge void in their lives without her physical being but surely will have her spiritually watching over them all. I myself am glad I grew up with her & was able to experience her many talents she was blessed with.
