Nancy was my work MOM in the admitting office. She was always a delight to work with. I am sad to hear of her passing, but seeing her smile in this picture warms my heart. A very special lady is now in a very special place. Hugs to the family.

I could stare at this sweet pic of Nancy all day. She was just a delight. I spent many hours of my teen years at the Berts Ridgeway Avenue home, and have so many wonderful and fun memories of her and the Bert family. Lots of laughter around that kitchen table. God bless you Nancy Bert. You will always hold a special place in my heart. My love and condolences to your family. Lynn Moore Schermerhorn
