Nancy and her family were our neighbors for many years. Nancy was such a special person and when I would run into over the years she always looked lovely, a true lady. Rest in peace.

What a beautiful picture of Nancy.
Nancy played for many school activities while we were in high school, including for the ABC's trio. She added her touch to any music that she played. I remember her laugher which would bubble out if something tickled her.
I am sad to say that I will not be able to attend Nancy's visitation or service this weekend to express my sympathy in person.
Rest in Peace, Nancy.

I'm so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. She was a very nice woman and talented musician. I took piano from her for a few years, I never really gave it my all, but she was always gracious and kind to me despite my ambivalence towards practicing regularly.
Rest in peace.
