We are so sorry to read this news. Nan is a valued part of Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley's history through her leadership when we were known as Family Service Mid-Peninsula, and we treasured her long involvement with our organization. Nan's involvement with so many local organizations enriched our community and ensured people in need received help. Our heartfelt sympathies to all of the family and dear friends.

I have known Nan since the 1960's when I was a teenager. We first met at the barn at the Menlo Circus Club. She owned a horse or two as did my parents and I would hang around and listen to the adults gossip. I still own horses and will miss Nan terribly. I want to offer my condolences to her family and friends. Judy Castaillac

Nan's generosity of spirit, and keen commitment to community service, were repeatedly demonstrated to me when we both served on the Atherton Town Council. Nan did not hesitate to state her opinion, but she would work -- hard -- towards creating a consensus reflecting the Council's collective judgment. She had a delightful and sometimes wicked sense of humor which she deployed with positive effect. I will miss Nan greatly as a friend. My condolences to Ron, Doug, and her family and friends.

I have known Nan since 1980 such a caring intelligent and involved woman. Whether it was politics,horses or friendships she was constant,thoughtful and caring. She will be missed by many.
