What a wonderful person Nancy was, such a big heart, so funny, gracious and generous. There was nothing she wouldn't do for anyone who she knew. She dedicated so many years to Sayre and our program was better because of her dedication. As a director, my job was made easier because of her support and commitment. Nothing but respect for Nancy, our sympathy is extended to her family.
