Katie, Samantha, and the members of Nancy’s family, I am very sorry to learn this sudden loss of beautiful woman, Nancy. Nancy was a serene, classy, and Mary woman I’ve always respected as a friend. It is still hard to digest that Nancy is gone and I cannot see her. It will change the whole dynamic of our annual lunch with Anne and Lizza, without Nancy. Especially with Katie and Samantha, I hope the day will come when you feel that Nancy and Tom will be by your side with their smiles to remind you that their strength in core are passed on to you both. May all the family members will go through this hardest time together and support each other. I will always regret I am not at the service due to my health conditions. May Nancy rest in peace. With sincere sympathy, Yuko
