"My sister and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of Nancy. We are the daughters of Marty, who Nancy befriended while my mom was at Cedar Gardens. She was such a bright spot for us to see when we visited my mom and when we moved my mom, one of the hardest things was leaving Nancy behind. Our thoughts and prayers are with you."
"I will always remember my Mom and Dad and your Mom and Dad at Blue Lake. Peace!"
"Dear Bill, I was so sorry to see your Mom passed away. It was such a pleasure having the opportunity of getting to know you both and of having the brief opportunity providing her some assistance at Cedar Gardens. She was always very kind and loved being of help to others. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time."

"My heart goes out to Bill, Debby, Muffy and John, and all the grandkids. Nancy was a bright spot on Blue Lake. I remember how much fun we had at her summer parties, and how festive the yard looked with the chinese lanterns. I never did figure out how to play shuffleboard. Will forever think of her at the piano at Pinewood Supper Club, her singing and whistling were magic. May she forever be singing. Margaret Jordan Schwartzbauer"
"I will always fondly remember Nancy for her endless supply of Hershey's kisses at her lake cottage, and of course her infectious laugh and positive spirit."
"Jack and I had many good times with Nancy up at Blue Lake. Although Jack knew Nancy much longer than myself, once I met her, she was like family. Our sympathiy goes to Bill, Deb, and Muffy as well as Nancy's grandchildren."
