My deepest sympathy to the Parco family. Nancy was a very dear friend of my mom, Beverly Zurawski, but I also got to know Nancy as well. I will always remember Nancy's smile and laugh. I understood at an early age why mom became a close friend to Nancy because she had a special warmth about her. Kevin and Kerry you and your families are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family. I went to school and grew up in the same neighborhood (Diane Ave) with Kevin, and my younger brother was lucky enough to have both, Mrs. Parko and Mrs Sawisky at Wadewitz.
