Sister Nancy was my guardian angel. She was so kind and generous when she helped my mother who was at Christ Hospital and made arrangements for hospice. A big heart and much love she displayed
I'll always be grateful to you, Sister Nancy.

Sister Sister Nancy was my angel while my mother was at Holy Cross Hospital frequently. My mother's last visit to the hospital showed me the compassion that sister Nancy had. She managed to find ice cubes that I was not allowed to gift to my mother who was extremely thirsty and gently fed her the little cubes which helped my mother enormously. In addition Sister Nancy made arrangements for my mother's hospice care. I will be eternally be indebted two Sister Nancy for her Loving Care.

Sister Nancy was my principal at Cathedral Day School in Savannah Georgia. I was five years old in 1983 and Sister Nancy along with sister Maura and Sister Patricia until I reached the 8th grade or until the school merged with Sacred Heart and became Notre Dame. I never knew where she went until people started posting on facebook about her passing. So I say RIP Sister Nancy your work here is done God needed you with him.
