Nancy was one of the sweetest women I've ever known. She raised 4 amazing children, one of which I've been lucky enough to call my best friend for the past 25 years (Kirsten). I've been though many seasons of life so far with Kirsten, and have had the pleasure of seeing her become an amazing wife and mother. Her dedication to her family is a direct result of the influence of her incredible mother. I know the example of strength, patience, unwavering faith, and love she had from Nancy will continue to guide not only Kirsten but all her children for the rest of their lives. May the love of our lord continue to cover you all and grant you peace and understanding during this difficult time.

Dear Joe, Matthew, Jared, Kirsten, and Carly, We are very sorry to hear about Nancy's passing. We remember Nancy as a kind, cheerful, selfless, prayerful woman. What Carly wrote in her facebook post a few days ago, about Nancy being a friend to all, is most certainly true. We feel blessed to have been your neighbors as the children were growing up. We wish we could attend the services for Nancy. I will be praying the rosary for her this evening, in spirit along with all of you. May God bless you with peace and comfort, and may He welcome Nancy into Heaven. Love always, Larry and Mary Meo and family (Katie, Larry, Timmy, and Sarah)
