Although Nancy was my younger brother's classmate, she became my friend too. I remember her enthusiasm for early music, coming over in medieval costume to sing for my parents, always full of song and laughter. Whenever I came home to Brandon in recent years I would try to see her and I have great memories of swimming in her pool. A few years ago she & my sister-in-law visited us at the lake, which was a lot of fun. In every mental picture I have of Nancy, she is either smiling broadly with that great smile which lit up her whole face, or intently focused on the person she was listening to. You always felt she was fully present in any moment, a really generous and open hearted person who faced challenges in her life with courage. The world is poorer without her.
