Tributes
"I am so very sorry to hear of Nancy?s passing. We met Nancy shortly after she left Mary Cariola, and the impact she made on my family is just immeasurable. She loved my Andrew and bonded with him immediately, and their affection was mutual. She became a part of my family, and I will always think of her with love, gratitude, and affection. I am a better parent and a better person for having known her, and I will miss her tremendously. I love you, my friend. "
