James and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Nancy’s passing.
I hadn’t seen Nancy since last October, when we went out to celebrate her birthday, but we spoke on the phone quite often. She had invited me over when she got settled in her new place. I was looking forward to having her join us at the ballpark when she got to feeling better. That’s where we met Nancy and Cecilia, at the “K” several years ago and became friends. We always looked forward to seeing them there to watch our boys in blue. We will keep you in our prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
