    I first had the pleasure of working with Nancy at Mellon Bank and she was the greatest. I loved her as a boss and as a friend. We stayed in touch over the years and I admired her and got to see her from time to time. I will miss her kindness as she was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I will forever miss her and we are sending our thoughts and prayers to her family. RIP Nancy. Love you dear lady!
