Christine and family-I just watched the 20 minute video montage. WHAT A JOY! I knew Nancy in last 8 years or so. I LOVED her photos from the 60's and 70's. She was quite the bombshell! On a serious note, she is such a loss for everyone. She was a contradiction of such independence yet there was a vulnerability about her. I truly thought she was a wonderful woman and will miss her very much. I understand the pain of losing family...Thinking of you.
