Dear Tom, Iris and the rest of Nancy's family. My deepest sympathies to all of you. Nancy and I were best friends from age 6 until we graduated from high school. Little Nancy (my sister was Big Nancy) and I were inseparable when we were young, always begging our parents for another sleepover so we didn't have to stop playing. I have many fond memories of walking to grade school together, playing Barbies and being in our high school 'sorority'. We got together a few times after Notre Dame to catch up and promised we would do it more often. Unfortunately life got busy and now its too late. I'm glad she had a good life with a loving family. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Sending love to all of Nancy's family and friends. I had the pleasure of meeting her a few times at Lindsay and Alex's wedding events. She was a wonderful woman and you can tell she went above and beyond for her family.
