I was so saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. We became best friends during our high school years at good old Hononegah HS and continued our friendship through the years although we lived far apart. Nancy was always a positive force and she will be sorely missed.
My deepest condolences and prayers to her loving family.

Nancy was a fun loving, energetic gal who loved people and enjoyed being with her family as well as classmates from Ho-No-Ne-Gah! We who knew her will miss her bubbly personality and that quick smile! I know she missed Will a lot, too.
