    over us

  • Condolences to Nancy’s family. She was a talented and wonderful lady. May her memory be for a blessing.

  • Nancy was the definition of a lovely person. We’re glad we had the chance to meet her. She took a photo of us at the paragon carousel that is a treasure to us. I’d like to think her spirit is with her beloved and her mama. Thinking of her family with love and sympathy.

  • Nancy was a member of our Book Club at the Senior Center and we will miss her wonderful contributions to our discussions. So very sorry for your loss.

  • Dear Danny, Billy and Jen. I’m so sorry I couldn’t attend your mom’s services as I was in the hospital. Nancy was a great woman and so funny bright. I loved how she would rearrange your house every few months so you never knew what you were walking into! My love and prayers go out to all of you. Peace.

  • To the Santry family. I’ve been in the travel industry my entire career. I actually met George and Nancy back in 1996. It was a joy to know both of them. Sorry I didn’t know this had occurred or I would have been there. I will always treasure great memories.

  • One of my wife, Joan Mischler Hopkins’ best friends, from preschool years on Wilkins Road in Braintree. In her dementia she still asks for “Nancy.” Sorely missed by our family, who frequently visited her in Quincy during trips from Rochester NY. We have her photo seascapes hanging in our bedroom!
