  1. I am so sorry that Nancy has passed away. She, too, attended our 5th Reunion. As I recall, she was my roommate at Hamp. She was caring, kind, and good company.

    I wish to convey my deepest sympathy to her fanily for their loss.

    With condolences,

    Emily McFadon Vincent clss of 1953
