"Liz, Julie and Charlie, I am saddened beyond words. Nancy was a dear friend and cousin who I felt understood me like few others. A fellow dog lover, a good friend, a good person. Our family has lost a cherished member. I always appreciated that she made the trip to come see us when Mom and Dad were in assisted living. And I'll miss our visits when I come home. It broke my heart to hear the news. She'll never be forgotten, and my heart is there with you. My sympathy to you all."
