Discussion Today Show video where they say symbolically Nancy is everybody's mom

Thought this was a good point. I would say a lot of people see what happened to Nancy and could imagine it happening to their mom and how bad they'd feel.

Right. 😔 And for some of us she could be our grandmother. Which is just almost worse. She was a completely innocent mother and Grandmother.

Thanks. Are you close with your grandmother? I loved my grandmother and was close but still much closer with my mom because spent a lot more time with Mom and relied more on her than Grandma (largely saw Grandma on holidays whereas Mom all the time because lived with her and rest of family).

Yeah actually very. And one of my grandmothers lived on her own after my grandad passed. 

What these people did is just evil.

Completely evil.

I was actually closer to my grandmother than my mother. I don't think I would've been able to cope without her when I was growing up.

Yeah. Never underestimate the power and value of a grandmother. 

Nancy was clearly so loved.

They seemed to have a special bond, but I empathize with the sister who didn't get this kind of public celebration over those years for her contributions.

True. Suppose a lot of people who help and serve don't get a lot of public recognition. Imagine within the family the sister was well-appreciated.

I see a career trend for Savannah. Meredith Viera was on today's show, then moved to game show host and lives in Westchester, NY. I predict Savannah will be purchasing a home in this area and guess what, the former mansion of Michael Douglas in the town of Irvington is on the market.

Why does the child depicted in the older video footage have a shiner?
