  1. Please accept my sincere condolence for the loss of Nancy. I enjoyed spending time with Nancy at the Arts Center as docents, at Starbucks indulging on Frappuccios, at pilates to keep in shape so we could give the tours at the Arts Center! Nancy was sincere, authentic and a wonderful friend who loved her family and her big beautiful dogs. I will miss her dearly and will forever remember her ability to listen, share and laugh. She was as unique and as much fun as her Fancy Nancy guest bath! May you remember her in your hearts and minds joyfully everyday. Barbara Vogel Boyd
