My deepest sympathy to all of you on your loss. I always remember that Nancy had a smile and laughed a lot. She was a great part of St. Rose of Lima’s Imperial Lancers Drum & Bugle Corps and will be missed at our future reunions.

To the Polny family,
please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers. I went to high school with Nancy and remember her well as a vibrant loving person. I currently work with Sister Joan Moore at Saint Thomas the Apostle School and I know from speaking with her that Nancy raised a wonderful loving family. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers,

Nancy and I attended St Rose of Lima grammar school and East Orange Catholic High School together. I most remember Nancy and her parents being so connected to The Imperial Lancers Drum Corps. Nancy had a laugh that lifted your spirit and if I close my eyes I can hear her even now. I extend to you the sympathy on the loss of Nancy.

My deepest sympathy to the Polny and Byron families. I will always remember Nancy from my growing up in the Roseville section of Newark, attending grammer school, going to St. Rose dances, and marching in the St. Rose Drum & Bugle Corps. She was always full of life and great fun to be around.

I want to offer your entire family my deepest sympathy during this very difficult time. I will always remember Nancy with fondness. She and I had many, many fun times together. Everytime we would get together we would laugh and laugh. Nancy had a heart of gold and was full of so much wisdom. I will miss her very much.
With Love,
