Got to know Nancy when she moved in with Jenny. She liked to reminisce about the dog she once had. I'm a dog lover too...she will be missed.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Nancy. I hold such fond memories of her. As a child, I can remember she and Harvey coming to the house and playing the card game Rook with my parents. They had such a good time! After my mother passed, she helped my dad out in so many ways. She was such a kind, special lady.
