Nancy was a wonderful Friend to the Sprague Family. I am so very sad for all of us, particularly her Daughters whom she adored. She was always proud of you, and told me often how lucky she was to have had the privilege of giving birth to such wonderful, amazing souls. May we all find comfort in loving memories…

A friend just sent me NancyGÇÖs obit, and I then spent the evening reminiscing about my old friend.
I met Nancy our freshman year at IU in 1970. Nancy was the cream of the crop. Totally unfiltered – all the time – she made an immediate impression.
Through college, her marriage to Richard and the birth of their daughter, Emily Rose, Nancy was always the brightest light in the room GÇô even when you wanted it to be dark! She taught me how to laugh at your frailties, soldier through your tribulations and rejoice in your friends.
Alas, by 1980, she & Richard were divorcing & I relocating GÇô a move that unfortunately broke our connection.
Please know that Nancy touched many, and was loved by most, including me.
My long lost friend GÇô I regret that we didnGÇÖt reconnect in this life.
RIP
