So very sorry to read of Nancy's passing. She worked in our homes for over 25 years, and we adored her like a family member. One of the most loyal gracious, hard-working women I have ever known. We moved to Woodland Park just over 4 years ago and we lost touch, but I thought of her often. She was loved very much by us and all of our furry family members. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her family during this sad time. With love, Kathi Ogrodny.
