To Nancy's Family- Until I learned Nancy was seriously ill, I knew her only as a smart, straight-talking person who cared enough about her town to be on top of every important issue affecting it. Since then, I came to know her as a woman who cared enough about people to tell her visitors "I'm on top of the world" even though she knew she wasn't. You've lost someone very special, and so have we.

My early childhood is filled with good times Nancy and my mother had as friends. From Staci cutting my first locks to Kandi's company hanging out in her room. Nancy was always a positive person with a great sense of humor. Her friendship was endless. My love goes to Staci,Kandi and David as will as her grandchildren. Nancy is already missed.

My prayers are with your family, Nancy was my Mom's wonderful friend. After my Moms sudden passing in February she was a great friend to our whole family, taking care of my Moms dog Kiki while I found her a home and looking after things at her house. I and so sad to hear the news of her passing, she was an amazing person. I know they are both up in Heaven looking after their kids, grandkids and dogs. My God bring you peace in this time. Love Jessica McCusker (Deanna Batstone's Daughter)

To Nancy's Family~ I was deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. Though I knew her a very short time, It seemed as I'd known her forever. Many days we sat after closing, talking of everything and nothing, and politics! How funny it was, when I told her of a sweet, but eccentric aunt & uncle of mine from Shrewsbury, only to find Nancy had lived next door to them, and had kown them well!
I feel so truly blessed to have known Nancy. May knowing how many people loved and cared for Nancy bring you comfort in this most difficult time.
She was an extrodinary human. I will never forget her.
with love,
Bambi
