Nancy was our coworker we enjoyed taking our lunch together and we would walk outside on our breaks. We would order food on fridays and because I was on the clock she would be like i´ll go and pick it up my little one( thats how she used to call me her little Susana). I will always remember you my dearly friend Nancy, even though our heart is broken we know that you´re in a better place with no pain. Rest in peace..
