John, Anne, Troy & Family,
My sincere condolences.Aunt Nancy was so kind when both my parents were ill. She never spoke of herself. My dad loved her visits. They had many very intellectual conversations. That time was hard for me, Nancy so kindly spoke with me, and truly, helped me.
I will remember what a sincere, kind and generous spirit she was.

Sincerely,
Mary M. Carney
