In Memory of Nancy Bern (1931-2004)

Long Island Cares mourned the sudden passing of our friend and associate Nancy Bern on June 8, 2004. She was here at the very beginning and was a guiding light to our organization. She is deeply missed.  Please share our memories of her by viewing these pictures and by reading this very entertaining article about her from our archives.
