I was a friend of Nancy at Herig Elementary School. We were in Brownies together and shared a lot of laughs. We parted ways when she went to South School and I went to North School. Always sad to see a classmate move on to the next life. I am sure she will be missed.

Nan and I met, along with Mary Eaton and a few other classmates, when we started going to Sunday School at St. John's Episcopal Church... kdg? Besides Sundays, we sat next to each other at South School (Hassberger- Hatfield) and all through advisory at Arthur Hill. In addition to all of that, she was a friend. We have been out of touch for many years, but never out of my heart. She's another soul I will look forward to reconnecting with in heaven.
