Dear Debbie and Jim, I want to extend my sincere sympathy to the both of you on the huge loss of the passing of your mother. Nancy was one of my favorite people. She was an amazing woman, who I thought was glamorous, smart, loyal,open-minded and so down to earth. Her courage and strength will be a lesson I will remember. I am so happy that she was able to enjoy Sarah too. What an incredible woman. I will certainly be thinking of her every Friday @ 10:00
