Nancy’s beautiful memories will live on forever in all of us. My deepest sympathies to Mike, Kathy, Maureen, Lauren, Lindsey and Michelle and their families. The Mass was beautiful and Lauren’s speech was out of this world. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I wish you all peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead.

Many blessings and prayers to the Roberts family. The mass was nice and I loved Lauren’s speech filled with all the fun memories (one of my funny stories is Nancy had some younger neighbors on the other side of her and they were playing their music too loud (she thought it was me). She gave me a call to ask me to turn it down… however, I was 4 hours away camping). I will also miss her calling my daughter Mary Beth (her name is Beth). Nancy was a great neighbor and will truly be missed. Keep the memories close to your hearts. Sending Love and many Hugs.
