Most certainly the strongest and positive person I have ever known. Nancy touched us all and leaves a wonderful memory of knowing her in our hearts and minds. Knowing Nancy and how she lived her life should remind us never to be unhappy or ungrateful…live a full life each day remembering to be happy for what you have.
Nancy will be missed so much. She is my inspiration to living life to the fullest as time is short.
Jen, Grace & my deepest condolences to Gil, Scott & Courtney. Nancy was as good a person as there is in this world. Dan Daley
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ” … those who died in Christ will rise first … therefore, comfort one another with these words.” Knowing Nancy cannot help but make one a better, loving, grace-giving person with a positive outlook on life and laughterhumor to share with loved ones and friends. These unique and precious aspects of Nancy and the life she lived on earth, continue to live on in the hearts, memories and lives of those who were lucky enough to know and appreciate her first hand. We will miss you and look forward to the day when you are there, smiling with open arms, to greet us on our arrival in that place where you are now. Peace, love and joy … Nancy, you are loved greatly!
I will always have a special place in my heart for Nancy. She taught me and other Moms in our military support group to smile and laugh often and big regardless of what is going on. She was my rock for so many months during the Iraqi conflict. How she did it I will never know. And even though we didn’t much of each other I knew she was there – always smiling. I wish we had that lost opportunity to toast each with our favorite Scotch. Here’s to you, friend. I will feel your presence when I need to smile. Love you, Ruth
Nancy was a wonderful person to know. She was the most positive, optimistic person I have ever known. She will be greatly missed by many and I am glad to have known her.
Nancy was a dear friend from my school days in Feasterville, Pa. We were scouts together and teenage confidants. Though we lost track of each other, my memories of her are sweet. May she rest in peace.
