To Nancy's Family, We were so saddened to hear of Nancy's illness and passing. We had known her for many years from camping at The Old Holbrook Place. She generously shared her canoe and kayak with us over the years. We will always fondly remember Nancy playing ball with Holly from the dock at the lake. She was truly a kind and wonderful friend to all. Our deepest sympathy to you all, Cheryl and Skip Packard
