September 8, 2021 at 4:44 pmNancy was my neighbor at Summerhill Glen and always had a smile on her face and a greeting for all as we would walk by. She was very kind and caring and will be missed by all who knew her.
Rest in Peace, Nancy.

September 8, 2021 at 9:15 pmNancy was my neighbor at Summerhill Glen in Maynard. The following will describe my dear neighbor Nancy. She was kind, sociable, witty, family-oriented, thoughtful, and extremely talented in the crafts making department! I can’t remember a time when Nancy raised her voice, or spoke unkindly towards another person. I will always remember her “bring-it-in-Jan hugs”. My lovely friend, I shall miss your hugs, so when I see you on the other side: ‘bring-it-in-Nancy”. Rest in Peace Forever,

September 8, 2021 at 9:47 pmNancy was my neighbor at Summerhill Glen. She was a rare kind of person. Nancy was kind, family-orientated, sociable, funny, considerate, good-natured, and way over- the- top when it came to arts and crafts. I cannot remember Nancy raising her voice or being critical of another human being. She would see me and it was, “Bring-it-in-Jan”, which means, we were big on hugs! Rest well, lovely neighbor, until I see you on the other. Then I shall say: “Bring it in, Nancy”

September 23, 2021 at 4:14 pmJust heard today that Nancy has passed away. I thought something was wrong as my e-mails and phone call went unanswered. That is so not like my friend Nancy.
Nancy, I will always remember the good years when we used to walk for Chinese lunch and then sometimes go to McDonald’s for ice cream. We shared a lot of good laughs together. Rest in peace my friend, you earned the biggest pair of wings.
Your friend always
Nancy Hale. PS: I love you
