Dear Lenny,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family at Nancy's passing. She was a very special person. She and my mom, Norma, had a long-time friendship. I've recently experienced your pain with the passing of my mom on October 11th. I share your grief.

It was with great sadness that we heard the news about Nancy this morning.
Though it has been many years since we have lived in Chicago, we remember fondly all the wonderful times we had together in the olden days with our "Fugowies". Nancy had a fabulous sense of humor and warmth about her.She was always a joy to be with.
Know that our thoughts and love are with you at this time .
Love, Bobbie & Sam Wolsky

My condolences to the Fishman family on the loss of a wonderful woman, mother and friend.
I know that I cannot do justice to such a wonderful, caring, and compassionate person in just a few short words. How could I capture her joy, love and compassion and overall affection in just a couple minutes? I consider myself very lucky to have been a part of her life. I will have the love and memories and while death ends her life it will not end our friendship.

I will always treasure our times in Aca and never forget the “horse and buggy” ride we took, the four of us up the hill to the Hyatt coming from dinner at LeBristoquet.
The stairs at Paradise....the dinners, the lunches, all the “motherly advice” and the wonderful times with the Fishman family I will hold in my heart. I miss you my friend.
