I am so saddened to hear of Nancy's death.  Though I didn't know her personally in High School, it's always hard to hear that we've lost another classmate.  Nancy will surely be missed by her daughter and family.

She must have been a wonderful lady, as she devoted her life to nursing.  My sister Kathy, (Class of 1971) has also devoted her life to nursing.

We must surely find a cure for Cancer, what a terrrible disease.  I'm sure we all know of someone in our lives that has suffered from this disease.

I remember Nancy as a kind, sweet, caring, fun loving person who was very funny and witty.  I have such fond memories of her.  And it's no surprise that she went into nursing -- that just seems to fit nicely with the personality I remember.  When I think about her I see her quick smile coupled with that twinkle in her eye.

Yesss... Such a giving and loving person... Devotion to a career of nursing simply is a loving conviction in itself... My memories of Nancy were simply based on her focus on reaching out to her fellow classmates... She was ALWAYS... Thinking of others FIRST!  She was so way ahead of others I knew... Looking at truly... "The Big Picture"!  Always two or three steps ahead of the rest of us...

Memories are the "steps" in life that give us strength while moving forward... Thanks for sharing your love passion and foresight...so others could see the "right" light...

May all of us have a stronger and brighter life... Thanks Nancy...

I remember Nancy as being a kind and caring person in high school.  I'm sure that everyone she met afterwards thought the same thing.
