Nancy was wonderful to me when I joined the family. I was from MA (the Berkshires) and enjoyed her laughter when my Meg threw toys on floor and Jim and his cousin Sam retrieved them. Nancy wondered who was teaching whom. Meg was only two and had both men scooting on the floor retrieving er toys. She was not as amused when she caught me teaching Susie the fine points of blackjack. She was a wonderful, beautiful woman and she is a loss to us all. May her light shine bright for her family and all who loved her. Rest in peace Nancy...
