I will always cherish the many good memories I have of being with Nancy. The creativity, honesty, joy and friendship that she brought to many of us were a true blessing. Whether traveling together to Poland, working together on a creative project or just hanging out she was always good company and added much to every experience that we shared with her. We met over 50 years ago and I can truly say that there were few people in my life who have touched me the way that Nancy did.
Thank you, Nancy, for having shared so much with me and others over the past many years. You will be missed.
Fondly,
Dave Motak
