I will always remember Nancy’s love of life. I worked with her at the Arizona State Fairgrounds for many years and kept in contact with her long after. I loved talking with her and sharing the latest “gossip”.
My sympathies to all the family. May you eventually find peace in you heart and with your memories.
With Love,
Mercy Gonzales and children (Nicole and Marcos)
