Nancy was a very true, kind, caring and fun dear friend for many years. I thank Judy for alerting me that Nancy was ending closure and was able to nod goodbye to me. We enjoyed many years skiing, playing cards, riding the coast to Maine from my townhouse by the Hampton Playhouse on my 2 motor scooters. Sometimes stopping along the rocks on the coast for a drink or two and snacks we packed. Nancy rest in peace. I'll be seeing you shortly. Save room for me and we will continue where we left off. Love, joanie
