Nancy met the love of her life, Rich, in the summer of 1975 in Point Au Roche, NY. Together they shared a marriage of complete devotion, empathy and compassion for each other. They raised their two daughters, Kara and Savannah, in a loving home and instilled these beautiful attributes in them as well.
