Nancy,
You have been missed more than you know. I miss our talks, our laughs, and visits. Shopping with you will always be in my memory. Loved making Halloween items for you and your wonderful parties, you were the queen of those. Your talent, was beyond words. Thank you for all my beautiful cards. You took me under your wing from church, I never minded helping you through your trying surgeries.
Miss you dearly,
Love Robin

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Nancy´s passing. I had just had lunch with her (twice) in mid-September and she had invited me to her home for Thanksgiving dinner. I had called and left messages several times to find out what time and what I could bring. I didn´t have phone numbers of any of her many friends. My daughter found her obituary on line in December when she was here. I was shocked, needless to say.
I met Nancy at a Meetup dinner in downtown St. Pete in the fall of 2013. I had just moved here from Jacksonville. We immediately connected and became friends meeting frequently for lunch or dinner.
Nancy was a delightful, charming, thoughtful and thoroughly lovely and special friend and I will sorely miss her and cherish her memory. May she Rest In Peace forever.

I knew Nancy from Salty Sisters. I had just received a Halloween card from her & didn't call her soon enough to thank her. She has sent many of her artistic cards to me over the years. They were always appreciated. When she injured her shoulder several years ago, I referred her to my surgeon who fixed what the other surgeon did not. She was a special person.

Nancy I will miss you so. I am very blessed to have called you my dearest friend. We had some great times and laughed alot. I hope you got your broom and you are at peace flying in heaven.
To her sister and nephew, know she loved you very much. I always tried to encourage her to stay in contact. If I could have gotten away this summer, I would have taken her to see you.
Love and hugs,
Robin Macer

So shocked and saddened to learn of Nancy's death. I thought she was brilliant! A character who had such artistic gifts, spunk, empathy. She made me laugh and full of piss and vinegar, at times. I will miss her!
I will not be able to attend her memorial as I will be out of town.
