Dear Shawn and family, 

My sincerest condolences with the loss of your beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.  May she rest gently in peace, yet always alive in your hearts and memories. 

Warmest wishes and sympathy, 

Erica W. Gassaway 

Nancy and I shared a friendship over the last 12 years, beginning with our work at a humane society in Palm Beach. Her compassion brought hope and positive outcomes to the pets and people she encountered. Her love of family, friends and companion animals guided her journey through life.

Vita was the catalyst of our friendship. She came into the shelter as a frightened puppy in need of a special person. Nancy and her Murphy befriended Vita, building her trust and overcoming her fears. From that time on Nancy was a true dog whisper, always the advocate for the underdog.

I will miss our weekly conversations spanning everything from our pets, family and the wider world. We often talked about jointly owning an RV/Van and traveling throughout the country with our dogs exploring national parks.  

In the memory of one of her son’s colleague, Nancy was always a very fashionable person. I remember (in pre-COVID world) her visiting her son’s office with perfect hair, make up and outfit (her white pants were my favorite) even after her flight had just landed. Even when she brought her baby granddaughter with her, she looked perfect.

Nancy from time to time called. Usually Melissa took calls. But whenever Mel was off the desk, I would pick up. Nancy, in her cheerful voice, would say “Melissa!!!” and go on for several sentences until she realizes it’s a wrong person. Then both of us would chuckle.

She will be remembered by me as a fashionable, cheerful and warm person. May she rest in peace.

Sending sincere condolences 💐 

We hope you find comfort in your happy memories. 

Nancy was not only a wonderful neighbor she was a dear friend. Who will live in our hearts forever. 

Love Judy & Laura (and Sunny) 

We only saw each other once as adults and that was a day at Leslees. I remember you so beautiful and kind. You hadn’t lost your wonderful, positive outlook on life. Funny and so smart. 

I remember as kids we got in a lot of trouble at Nanny’s house. I also remember Saturday school. I admired your motherhood relationship with your boys when they almost insisted you move to be near them.

My condolences to you, Leslee. I t is way to early. I know that she will be missed by those lucky enough to be her life.

Dear Shawn and Jordan,

I am so very sorry for your loss.  I am sending my thoughts and prayers to both of you.

Besides Nancy being such a cool Mom, she was beautiful and kind.  

May your memories give you comfort during this painful time.

Love,

Janis (Nicole’s Mom)
