I met Nancy Duffek way back in 4th grade at Prescott School in Mrs. Mitchell's class when I first moved to Lincoln.  I also attended Irving Junior High with her, and of course, LHS.  She was a wonderful classmate and friend.  My condolences to her family and friends.  Rest in peace, Nancy.  

With sincere sympathy,

Nancy and I were best friends in Irving and LHS.  We always had so much fun together.  She was one of my bridesmaids in my wedding.  We still enjoyed each other even after I moved to California.  We would always get together when I came back to visit. We had a great visit at the 50th class reunion.  I know her life evolved around her family.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
