To Nancy's family: Nancy was always very nice to me. She was one of first people I met when I moved here from California in 1973. I had a lot great times with her, my aunt and many of their other friends as well. I will always have great memories of those special times. May God's Gentle Peace fill your heart and comfort your soul today and in the days to come.

Jack and girls....Please accept my sincere sympathy. I know that Nancy suffered with numerous health problems in recent years, yet she was always friendly and talkative when I saw her. To me she will always be that fun loving "swim team mom" cheering on her daughters.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lonnie Niemy Schroy
