'Amazing' Toms River Mom, Grandma & Nurse Has 'Heart Of Diamonds'
Patch and T-Mobile are partnering to shine a light on awesome moms in the Toms River area. Meet Nancy Manz!

TOMS RIVER, NJ— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!
Here at Patch we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.
This submission comes from Gretchen de Gross who nominated Nancy Manz of Toms River.
What makes your Mom extra special?
Mother, Grandmother, Nurse, Friend, Aunt, Sister … and the best at all of them. My mom is selfless, beautiful inside and out, and the word amazing doesn’t begin to scratch the surface! A heart of diamonds, and she is willing and happy to make sure everyone else is smiling no matter what!
Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?
My mom celebrates everyone else, always! She rarely gets the spotlight and she is most deserving of just that! I want the world to know that I was raised by a beautiful, amazing, selfless woman!
Happy Mother's Day to Nancy Manz, and thank you for all you do!
