Hi Dave. Sorry to hear about Nancy. She was a terrific lady and wonderful Navy wife. A pleasure to have known and served with you both. I will remember Nancy, you and family at Mass this weekend. Best regards, Joe

David and family: I'm very sorry for your loss. I visited Nancy in Hawaii in 1970 when passing through to see my husband in Southeast Asia and we maintained a friendship thereafter. She was a lovely person and very proud of her children and grandchildren. I know you will miss her greatly.
With love, Pat Shaw (David's cousin)
