Nancy was such a special friend to me. Seeing her picture brought back so many happy and hilarious memories that I will always keep close to my heart. Know that I am thinking of her family and grieving deeply with you. I am not going to be at the service because of a previous commitment but I will be thinking of you Ken, Michelle and Kenny with love and compassion. Peace be with you.
