Gary and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. I have known her since 1979 and worked with her through the schools and Special Olympics. She was dedicated, a hard worker and funny in my working with her. I can only imagine she was a loving wife, Mother and friend. We have lost someone very special who cared about others and shed kindness and joy. Nancy will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss.
