It's taken me a while to collect my thoughts around Nancy's passing. She was such a force of natureI still feel her energy swirling around the planet.
Nancy was a unique spirit; bold, smart, classy, outspoken, and refreshingly unapologetic about her choices and worldview. At first, her intensity augmented by a piercing gaze when she was trying to figure you out, frightened me a little. But over time, her inner gentleness and depth of compassion became all I saw.
She was funny, quick-witted, generous, and kind. She was a good friend to me, and I will miss her dearly. RIP Nancy. I'll find you in every clap of thunder, flash of lightning, and breath of wind.

Nancy was always very nice to the friends of her children. She treated us all so well when we did not really deserve it. Such a great hostess at her homes both in Riverside and Palm Springs and a truly modern woman being very hip to young people. I knew Nancy for nearly 38 years and she was kind and youthful that entire span.

Dear Semones family,
I have many memories of your family from the many years of babysitting in Riverside. All my best to all of you. Wish I'd known Nancy lived nearby. She was a lovely person.

I was the Semones babysitter starting when Bobby was only four. She taught me what it meant to be a grown up and I was so privileged to be her friend.
