I am so grateful to have known Nancy for as long as I did. She was always so easy to talk to, trustworthy, and she taught me a lot about faith and trust in a higher power. Her wise one liners like "wear the world like a loose garment" always have stuck with me, and will for a long time to come.

I'll miss our coffee dates, Swiss Chalet lunches, walks, and chats across the dining table. I'll also miss her quietly annihilating me at cards.

My world sure is better having her been a part of it but it also feels emptier already.

My heart goes out to Pam and the rest of the family as well as her RYG family.

Like she reminded me often- life's a journey, and she sure encouraged me to keep travelling and trudging.
