Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morgenstern

It has been some time since I last saw or spoke with Nancy but I was able to keep up with her life through family and friends. Nancy was a very special person. She taught me so many important things—to take risks and enjoy life. Nancy was able to achieve all these things while sticking to her principles and demonstrating a true goodness and love of her family and friends. We all know Nancy was fun to be with, but it is her goodness and openness that drew people to her. I knew the first time I met her—over fifteen years ago—this was someone I wanted as a friend. It is a privilege to count Nancy among my dear friends.

Nancy, I smile thinking of the wonderful memories of our friendship. You were an important part of so many key points in my life—our year in Israel, planning trips together, my first time skiing, the day I got engaged—the list goes on and on. I am a better person for having you as a friend and there will always be a special place for you in my heart.
