This was a beautiful remembrance of Nancy. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful picture of Nancy. I cherish our 44-year friendship. I will never forget our adventures in Brazil in 1975 and pretty much every 5 years since then in different locations all over the country. She has always been very important to me.
Kevin and family,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of Nancy. Loving thoughts and prayers sent your way.
So very sorry to read of your loss. My thoughts and prayers to you Kevin.
