i remember when we used to go to Ruby Tuesdays by the Home Depot and she used to eat the full rack of ribs. They were her favorite.
I remember going to beach with mom and we would build sandcastle and have my P b and j sandwiches.
I was a Bristol Class of 1970 classmate of Nancyland remember for so fondly from many classes we had together. She was far too young. My heartfelt condolences to her family at this very difficult time. George Kenna
Nancy will always be remembered by her St. Robert Bellarmine family. She was such an active member of the parish for so long. Many of us will remember our friendships with her. I always think of Nancy when I pass a Del's Lemonade store or stand. She loved stopping for a Del's after a medical appointment, but she was very particular about flavors! Nancy, watch over and intervene for those you have left behind--especially the children. Until we meet again...
Nancy and I texted every week. She was the only one I communicated with on a weekly basis. We were close. I am lost and feel very much alone.
I am glad she was able to spend the last year's with her family. Caleb lit up her life.
Laura, my heart hurts for your loss. You have always been there for her. What an awesome woman and daughter. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your family is here for you. All my love. Auntie MaryAnn.
Aunt Nancy was one of my favorite people to talk to. I lived in New York and took the bus to visit Rhode Island family and she would give me rides to the bus station so we could get one-on-one time together. Alway curious about my ambitions and interested in my stories. Over the last several years she has been a real confidant, helping me through recent difficult times. She offered spiritual comfort, wisdom, reflection, and a high standards to focus on. I feel such an immense loss in her passing, both personally and in the broader sense of our family unit. She brought a unique perspective and was an intellectual force to be reckoned with. I'll keep talking with her, but will miss her company.
Laura, the love and strength she has imparted to you will grow, not diminish, even as it shares time and space with grief. I am so sad for your loss. Grateful that she had the joy of her grandson, and the knowledge that you have become and fully rounded woman, a professional success, a wife to a wonderful man, a mother, and always, always a dedicated daughter. My heart is with your family dear cousin.
We are saddened to hear the news of Nancy’s passing. Our condolences to her family. She is home.
