Dearest Jeff,
We are shocked and so totally saddened by the news of Nancy's sudden passing. Nancy was one of those few people who would make you smile just by thinking about them. She was a beautiful soul who clearly impacted many lives. We're both so glad to have known her and while we'll still always smile at the many memories of her we have, our smile will now be touched with sadness that she's no longer with us.

Our sincerest condolences, Jeff and family. She will truly be missed by all.

Love, Baja and Michelle

I met Nancy and Jeff at Linda's a week ago. Nancy was such a lovely, fun person. I really enjoyed their company and I hoped that someday we'd get together again

Her sudden passing makes me realize how fragile life is. I am truly saddened by her death. My sincere condolences to her loved ones.

Nancy and I grew up together in the countryside of Maxville. She had that I laugh then that if you heard it you knew exactly who it was coming from. To Jeff, your family and Linda our most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Nancy.

Jeff & Family - Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. My heart goes out to you all. Nancy was a great friend. We've known each other since we were teenagers and worked together at Epitek. We reconnected years later at Newbridge and shared so many fun times together throughout the years. I will miss her quick wit and joyous laugh. I'm sorry that I can't be there for in person for her celebration of life, but know that your are in my thoughts. xoxo
