I thank you all for coming to this page to leave condolences, wishes,etc. I’d like to say a few words about my mother before this page becomes flooded.
If there is one thing you should know about my mother, it is that she ALWAYS put everyone before herself. She was the single most caring person in this universe, and someone who will always be cherished in my heart.
She taught me how to read, how to count, how to write, and how to be a good person. Sure, we may have bickered at times about pointless nonsense (like her constant “lovely” singing around the house), but I never could say that I was ever angry at her. There was no point to be. She always loved and cared for me.
Many of you know that my mother had been afflicted with cancer since October 2009. Oh she fought.. she fought so hard. Day in and day out, she battled cancer and made it her bitch. It came back, and she still fought. Even with what happened, my mother is still the strongest person I know.
In closing, I wish you all to take the time to speak with your loved ones on a daily basis, no matter the current standing of the relationship. Inform them with what you are doing, tell them that you care for them. Life can be cut short at any moment. Cherish the days you have with everyone.
I love you mom. I always will. I can only hope to be half the person that you were.

R.I.P dearest niece and cousin you will be missed.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

Keeping you and all your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Chris, your comments are incredible. I have known your mom and dad for 29 years and consider myself extremely blessed to have been able to call them my dear friends. Your mom was an amazing person and I know she loved you and Lauren more than words can express. As a parent and a friend of your parents, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cheryl and I have all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

We are blessed to have called you friend. I loved that we could get together after years of seeing each other and it was like no time had passed. I will miss talking and laughing with you, more than you know. You and your family will forever be in our hearts.

Dear Jim, Lauren & Christopher,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. May all the special things about your wife and mom live on inside your hearts forever—- they will in ours. We pledged together and were DG roommate her senior year, bridesmaids for each other, camping buddies, many play dates with our little ones and a friend who I talked to more than I saw. We do know that your Nancy and mom put others first always with a story to share and so proud of your accomplishments and asking about us. What we knew about her battle with cancer was only because we asked.
We love you!
The Zucco Family
I met Nancy in college and have many memories of camping, laughing, a trip to Colorado and play dates with the kids. She was a wonderful person, so patient and giving. Anyone who knew her, knew how proud she was of her kids! I have been thinking of your family all week and will continue to keep you in my prayers.
Love,
Michele Horner Masten
Jim, Lauren and Christopher – Your Wife and Mother and Friend was also my friend and as such I feel the pain in your hearts hurting and sad as mine is also today.
My little friend Nancy up in the Heavens – my heart is heavy as are so many others today.
I feel the breeze through the window and see the sun shining on the falling leaves today. I hear the birds quietly singing outside, yet I dwell in this place of where we all were and where we wanted to be…always with you my friend, right here near our sides.
So many smiles you shared, so many loving ways you touched those around you – your soft spoken words…
I will miss you so much my little friend…I have 3 pages in my yearbook from Senior Year I just reread, that you wrote. Every word – every moment will stay –
Your children walk forward with your strength. Amazed at their courage, we will watch them grow and know they were blessed and raised by only the best there was.
Jim you are in my prayers – your loss greater than I can imagine and extended to all the Fritsch family – your Nancy, my little friend Nancy – such a blessing in my life – will be dearly, dearly missed. God Bless Her.
love,
Sharon (Jiskra) Brooks
To my sister and friend:
I love you and miss you so much. I know you are in a better place but it doesn’t make it any easier. I am going to miss your face, your smile, your laugh and everything else about you. We had so many great times together and I will cherish those memories forever. Say “hi” to dad for me! Love you and miss you.
Chris and family,
Robby and I are very sorry for your loss. What you wrote about your mother is very heartfelt and I am sure has touched everyone in a special way who has read it. Your mom would be very proud.
We hope you and your family are able to find some comfort during this time.

Your mom and I worked together at Jonas Salk several years back. She was one of the kindest and most capable teachers I’ve ever known.
I’m still in shock by her passing. No words can express the sadness that I feel for your family.
God bless you during this very difficult time.

All of us have you in our prayers and extend our deepest feelings of Sympathy to all of the Fritsch Family. Personally, I met Nancy only a couple of times but her infectious smile and kind words resonate to me. Lucille, especially, as a Mother we do not expect our Children to preceed us to Eternal Life. May God Bless You as You experinence this time. Love and Prayers……..The Salins’
Jim,
Over the years I’ve known you, your infectious smile and spirit always brightened up my day at work. No one would have ever known the battles you fought at home because your smile was too bright to see your struggles. Although I never met your wife, the love for her and your kids reflected through you. I just want to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family, especially your beautiful kids. May God keep peace and understanding in your hearts.

To the Felicelli Family……
I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Nancy at the Raider baseball games. My son, Brad, played with Chris.
Although I only knew her briefly, you could certainly see the love and pride she had for her family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. You may have lost a precious loved one but you have gained a lovely angel to watch over you.
Thoughts and prayers,

To the Felicelli Family:
We are so sorry to hear the news. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May your wonderful memories and the knowledge of the many lives made better by her positive influence, bring you peace.
Jim, Lauren and Christopher,
There is so little we can say or do at this time of shock, disbelieve and sadness. We search in vain for ways to make the situation better; ‘fix’ things; make the nightmare go away. But we are helpless. All we can do is let you know we grieve with you for the loss of your loving Wife and Mother, Nancy. We grieve for you because we know you’ve lost the love of your life, best friend, soul mate, the most caring, giving person, who is the center of your family and universe. It will be a long time before that void and emptiness subsides. Please know we are here for you, thinking about you and wanting to do anything we can to help you. Know also that the loving, caring, giving, inspirational nature of Nancy was recognized and appreciated by everyone she touched. She is missed now and always.
All our Love, Jane and Frank
Dear Uncle Jim, Lauren and Chris,
Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. We wish we could be there with you during this difficult time. Please know that despite the distance you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.
Nancy was such a beautiful person, inside and out. Her warm smile and laughter spread happiness and joy to everyone around her and her unconditional love for her family was so apparent in her everyday life. She will be missed terribly by all.
Chris, you words were absolutely incredible…brought tears to our eyes. Your Mom would be so proud of both you and Lauren. We know she is looking down on both of you right now and will be with you always, every step of way.
With love,
Christina and Matt
Jim, Chris and Lauren,
We are both so sorry for your loss. Nancy was more than special, comforting and cheerful – it was always a treat to be with her, we wish it could have happened more often. And she was strong – Chris, you put it so well. Through everything, she raised a wonderful family. Our thoughts are with you and we are sorry we can’t be there.
Love,
Matt and Christina
To the wonderful Felicelli Family,
I am so happy to have the pleasure of becoming a friend of your family over the past few years. I will always remember upon my arrival to your warm house that I was always greeted by a hug and a kind greeting from Nancy. You could count on her to have something nice to say about everyone, and my favorite though is when she would say something sassy about/to Lauren. What I learned from Nancy is what it is like to be an outstanding mother, I see what wonderful people Lauren and Chris are with their upstanding character and in their good actions. I am blessed beyonds words to have had the pleasure of Nancy Felicelli gracing my life. I know that she is watching over all of us during this time and that she will always be in our hearts.
With lots of love,
Kristen
Dear Members of the Felicelli and Fritsch Families,
We regret that we are out of town at this time, but we wish to extend our sympathies to all of you who have lost such a precious and much loved daughter, sister, wife or mother. So very sad that she died so young. It is obvious from Christopher’s letter and other comments that she tended to her responsibilites on earth with love, concern, humor and tenacity. She will be greatly missed for those very reasons.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim and family,
I knew Nancy during college when Jim and Nancy were dating. A great couple and Nancy was always putting up with the Phi Kap crazies. She displayed great patience.
While we’ve only connected recently for a reunion, we remember Nancy fondly. She was a special lady and she will be remembered for her kindness and grace.
Our prayers are with you.
