Nancy shared her smile, her beautiful spirit, and her love for her family with the Somerset hills y multisport club swim group on a weekly basis. I met Nancy about 5 years ago when she took swimming lessons from me because she was looking to add variety to her daily commitment to a fit lifestyle
We had good laughs going thru the humbling process of becoming a skilled swimmer as an adult. She stuck with it though and eventually fit right in with our multisport club group swim.workouts. Over the past 3+ years she has become a fixture in my program and continued to perfect her skills, with the kick set being her favorite, (unlike most of the others who hate the kicking.)She would always arrive with a smile wearing her yellow flip flops and her son's old rash guard shirt to help her stay warm. Staying warm became her greatest challenge in the Chandor pool! Her lane buddies are going to miss her positive attitude even toward the tough sets and the cold water days when her whole body would be blue and shaking but she would stick it out to the end. We never got her to do a triathlon or even venture out of the building to.do an open water swim but she was as much a member of our multisport community as everyone else. Her presence will stay with us during swim practice and her spirit and love for her family and a healthy life style will continue to inspire me to make the most of everyday. I miss you Nancy..

I have spent many days shivering in the pool to tired to continue, to depressed because I couldn't keep up. Somehow without saying anything in particular, Nancy kept me going. Perhaps it was her constant smile, perhaps it was her determination, or perhaps just the fact that she was cold too. Whatever it was, I will remember it always and even though she many not be physically swimming next to me, she will once again carry me through.

Nancy & I go back a long way - we used to swim at the Y well before she had kids and we used to try to avoid each other as 2 breaststrokers in the 'slow' lane by the wall was not easy in that old pool. I remember we used to compare notes about work stress and life etc. in the locker room. Nancy resumed swimming with me a few years ago when she started the Multiclub swims. She got fast really quickly and I loved sharing a lane with her. Shelley, Nancy and I used to swim together every Thursday - it was our preferred swim day - always amiable, relaxed and low-key. Nancy was always cheerful, friendly and keen to keep swimming to keep warm. She loved to swim but always prioritized her family, particularly her boys, over everything else. We are going to miss Nancy greatly - her life was much too short and I hope that she is swimming peacefully somewhere looking over us. My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy's family at this sad time.

I met Nancy when our boys were in kindergarten together. She was always the one to reach out and say hello with a warm smile. She regularly offered to walk my son home from school with her for playdates with her son Chris. I loved that about her. Nancy was a beautiful person, a loving mother and wife and we all will miss her. Sending all my light and love to her husband, children and entire family.

I have known Nancy for about 8 years. We became friends working at a preschool together. We discovered in the summer that we both were one a swim team and loved to swim. I told her that I spent everyday at the town pool and she should come too. We began to swim in the pool together with a group of woman each day. Nancy and I wold spend time together in the winter too. We would meet half way from our homes and walk three miles together. We would do this about once a month. Nancy was funny because she did not have texting on her phone so we did talk a lot on the phone. I will always remember her smile and how she was always so happy and such a great mom.

I have known Nancy for 9 years. Our boys have been good friends since kindergarten. I have so many memories of Nancy as well as her family - from numerous playdates at the park to countless afternoons at the pool to our "catch-up" coffees. Nancy was not only a great mom but she was equally a great friend. She was always willing to lend a hand or a shoulder to cry on. Nancy and I met and sat next to each other for so many school events - plays, meetings, etc. Most recently we watched our boys graduate middle school - she looked so beautiful - all dressed up, beaming as Mark crossed the stage. My dear friend Nancy -I love you and I miss you terribly. I am so grateful for having known you, but it just ended too soon - I wanted many more years with you as my friend. I pray for you and your family every day.

As the passing of my dear friend Nancy comes to a shock for myself as well as any who knew Nancy, I'm not prepared to accept that she has left us. She was such a warm soul. She always had that honest smile that would make you think that everything is beautiful. I met Nancy originally in 2007 when our boys started kindergarten together. Since then they've been best friends. I considered Nancy, Mark & the boys very dear to my Husband, my family & I. My heart aches at the loss of Nancy but, heaven has gained another angel. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will be terribly missed.

As I sit here trying to not only make sense of, but get over, the shock of the loss of my dear, beautiful friend Nancy. Nancy and I have been friends since the 4th grade. I remember as young girls sharing so much. She was always there, a source of strength and support for me. Over the years we always talked and tried to see each other as much as we could. Recently, as my 50th birthday approached, Nancy sent me a beautiful card with two pictures of us as 13 year olds. That card and those pictures have remained in my purse, and I take them out and look at them often. Even when time went by, we'd see each other, and hug as if no time had gone by. Nancy, I cannot imagine not hearing your comforting voice, seeing your friendly smile, or sharing our silly giggles. You have meant so much to me, and you will forever be in my heart. I love you.

I first remember seeing Nancy at story time at the library when our boys were toddlers. She was pregnant and spent half the session chasing a restless Mark around the room. Later, I got to know her when Jonathan and Mark became friends at Cedar Hill. We spent many happy playdates together in our homes and at the park. She was thoroughly devoted to her boys, and I could always count on seeing her at school functions. She was warm, friendly, down to earth, and a delight to talk to. I always enjoyed catching up with her and will miss her smiling face. Peace, Nancy.

Nancy, I’m having a horrible dream from which I cannot awaken. This can not be so. My heart is heavy and I long to hear your voice. “Hey Shari Dana Lady”, you’d say, “Hey Nancy Lynn”… I thought we had more time.
You were the new kid at school in 5th grade. You walked into the classroom and said hi, you sat next to me, instant friends.
A few years later I moved two houses away from you on Bradford Avenue. We were together every day. We would “meet out on the street”. We tried make-up, we danced, we ate frozen pizza, we talked about boys and we loved Lynyrd Skynyrd. We were kids with our whole lives ahead of us.
As we grew, our lives took different paths. You married young, I married late. Some how we ended up with kids near the same age living in the burbs. When we chatted we mused about husbands and kids but mostly fell back into our silly selves and the ridiculousness of our world.
I cherish your memory. Rest in peace my shy sweet beautiful friend.
To Mark, Mark, Christopher and the entire Antieri Family, I give my heartfelt condolences and wish you strength and comfort in the coming days. May Nancy’s beautiful spirit shine on you all.

We met Nancy about two years ago when my sons Christopher & Andrew joined BAC, on the same team as Christopher. She was a lovely, friendly individual, with a quick smile for everyone. We were shocked and saddened to hear the news of her passing. Our family would like to express deepest condolences to Mark, Mark and Christopher during this difficult time.

Nancy was a friend of mine at the Y. We always took Willpower and Grace on Mondays and stood together during the class. She was the nicest, kindest and fittest person and I will miss terribly our Monday morning chats, exchanging thoughts about books, movies and recipes. I offer her family and friends my deepest condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy and I first met at prenatal classes in 1999. We shared the same doctor and giant chocolate chip cookies that were offered there. We met again in Shop Rite, Pleasant Valley Pool and the Y. We always talked about our boys and were amazed at how alike they are. I am so saddened that we lived in a parrallel universe and did not know each other better than we did. I read a quote recently that said something like you may not remember what a person said or did, but you will remember how they made you feel. And you, Nancy, always left me feeling like i just met someone totally sincere and down to Earth. I will always remember you but never make sense of your quick departure. Rest in Peace.
