Nancy was always a sweetheart! Very thoughtful, fun and generous friend! So many wonderful memories. We went to Bama together, sorority sisters, lived in CO at the same time. I moved back to TN Nashville and she to Athens. I’d come see visit her from time to time early on in my young adult life. It was Always fun! I moved back to Boulder 11 years ago. So didn’t stay in touch but We’d exchange holiday cards. What a Beautiful gal, heart & soul!!! All my love!! Gina Grivich Farrar
