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

Our heartfelt sympathies to all of the family on the passing of our cousin Nancy.
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
