To Nancy's family...you might not remember me but I was the Gladwyne Elementary School Librarian when you were going there in elementary school. Your mom was one of my most favorite parent volunteers and I remember her so fondly (as I do all of you, too). I wanted to express my deep sympathy to all of you.
With sincere sympathy,
