I was a neighbor to Nancy (and Jim) on Indiana Ave, and Nancy played bridge in a group with my mom. I really enjoyed her friendship. I share your sorrow. I wish Nancy and all her family, peace.

Its been such a long struggle and she was well cared for since your Dad's passing almost 5 years ago. Find consolation in that she is now at peace and in Heaven with Jim and her parents. Much love to all, Aunt Eileen
