Sad to read. Given her age I just hope her 3 kids are young adults and not
'pre-teenish'.

Lifting up her family.

And that is a shitty thing to say, but I digress.

So sad to hear this and sending a lot of prayers to her family and feel so bad for her kids. I just saw a shirt clipped in fox8 breaking news to report on her loss and that was tough to hear. I can’t imagine doing the news tonight reporting on their coworker.

They might be deferring to let her colleagues report it first.

even though competitive for ratings... journalists are usually a tight-knit group

as soon as word started spreading that it was Nancy... I'm sure the other news directors were in touch with Fox 8 to offer condolences and let them know they'd allow Fox 8 to announce her passing 1st

looking at what time of year it is... that Nancy was out filming a story about flying... and esp. if word if true that a Fox 8 cameraguy got the crash on camera... she had to be out getting a sweeps piece ready

Making sure her family doesn't find out from the TV.

I couldn’t imagine being the camera guy. He probably rode out there with her, then watched the plane come down.

So fricked up
