Dear Mrs Dixon, I was Nancy's supervisor for many years at Maple Ridge. She was a doll, had a great sense of humor, and it made me sad to read she had died. In thinking back, I can see Nancy, working so hard at her job, laughing with her friend's and just enjoying her day. I know you will miss her as she touched so many lives.
Sincerely, Mary Lynn Walcesky
