dear Budd family, I am so very sorry to hear about Nancy - I first met her, Mary, when she and your dad brought you to WNS for your interview.... my name at the time was Anne Duncan, do you remember? and then I had the pleasure of working with both your parents on the WMS board.... closely with your mom on the search committee.... such a beautiful, lovely, wise woman with her gorgeous scarves and calyx perfume and gracious ways. I will always remember her with great fondness..... we have all lost a very special person.

Dear Budd Family:

I was privileged to know Bill for almost 30 years and to have met Nancy only about 10 years ago.

Their all to premature departure has left me with a deep sense of loss. Their marriage was something to behold. I have to believe that since Bill was never very far from Nancy, that her passing means that they are once again reunited.

I loved them both and send to all of you heart felt sympathy on your great loss.

The Budd family will always be in my thoughts,

Herb Lewis

Mary, Bill, David and Emily,
Mom was a loyal and trusted friend, both a personal and professional mentor and a role model extraordinaire. She was my constructive, but firm critic and my most enthusiatic cheerleader. She was there beside me during bad times and to laugh and rejoice with me during the good times. How I will miss her birthday phone calls--without fail,every year!
How I will miss her strength and guidance!
May she rest in peace, after a job well done.
With love to all of you and to your families,
Jane Lewis

I am saddened and somewhat shocked to hear of Nancy Budd's passing.
It was just two weeks ago that she ventured into Newbury St. to have me cut her hair. Although I could see her weakened state, she never lost her zest for life, and she maintained her beautiful radiant smile that I will never forget. A great loss.
Mary, when I last saw your mother I asked her to remind you to send a Christmas card of the triplets and dog to the salon.
God bless

Nancy Monick was a big sister, role model and inspiration to many young Wheaton "girls" in the late 50's. She now joins her beloved husband, Bill.

Camp Rindge has lost another loving member; such courage that she displayed throuhout this long illness; always cheerful, such great memories of our "camp" days; we are the only ones who know the great friendships that evolved in the many, many years of Camp Rindge. She will be sorely missed/

Dear Emily, Mary, David and Bill:

Your mother was a luminous, elegant, courageous and intelligence woman, who inspired all who knew her.
As Emily knows, our relationship began when Kat and Emily were students together at Nashoba, and I served under your mother's enlightened leadership on the NBS Board of Trustees.
We kept in touch through mutual friends over the years, and I was pleased to attend one of your Aunt Sarah's cooking classes at your home. To this day, her lamb sandwiches and lemon squares are standards of my entertaining repetoire!
It was a privilege for me to invite your mother to join the MFA Associates, and her sterling qualities as a person and as a leader stood out among equals. Her fortitude and commitment will long be remembered with a respect approaching reverence, as will her radiant smile and her inimitable voice and laughter.
Ted and Kat join me in sending our most profound sympathy.
