My heartfelt condolences to the entire Kelliher family. I had the priveledge of working with Nancy at Cranbury school as a new teacher with a young family and I cherished our conversations about life, faith, work, and keeping everything in perspective. She had a wonderful and calming presence, which I absolutely appreciated and still very much remember. May God bless her and grant her well-deserved eternal peace.
