To the Family of Nancy Reardon
Our mother had just moved to Edgewood, and Nancy was her roommate. The short time we got to spend with Nancy we realized quickly she was a wonderful and caring person.
Our sympathies are with her family at this difficult time.

To Nancy's family ~ I am so saddened and sorry when I heard Nancy had passed on. On one hand, I know she's happy, healthy and in the arms of her beloved Larry once again. That's what gets me thru times like this. On the other, I'm going to miss seeing her at Edgewood where my mother in law is. She was always sassy and smiling and took no crap from anyone! I'll cherish our fun memories as my neighbor for 30+ years on Bartlett/Woodbury and the fun we had with our daycare kids at the Pine Street Park. She was great friends with my parents and they all had so much fun at club functions. Rest in Peace Nancy, happy organizing wine parties in Heaven. Will miss you. ~ Kat Anania & family

It was sad news to hear the passing my old friend Nancy. She was one of the most caring people I have known. When my wife Ramona was suffering from terminal cancer, Nancy sent her a card almost every day to let Ramona know she was thinking about her. Those cards certainly made the day a little brighter for Ramona. My mom was in Edgewood and for a while Nancy's room was across from my Mom's. I would stop in to say hello and I was always amazed at her attitude with all the medical issues she had. She was a good friend who will always remember. Rest in peace Nancy.
