To Nancy's loving family. We give our sympathies to you all on the passing of Nancy. She was an incrediable lady and very kind. We loved receiving Christmas cards from her pets to our pets. May she sing with the angels and enjoy her heavenly home. With love always, Gary and Barbie Balint

Nancy was one of the last of the Balint cousins I was able to keep in contact with. We would see each other at the Galleria at various restaurants or at the St. Clair Out Patient offices or we would occasionally exchange phone calls to catch up and always exchange Christmas cards... Joan and I will miss Nancy and Zoey. Love her dearly. Frank W. Balint, son of Frank J. Balint
