I´m met Nancy shortly after my mom became a resident at Stone Pear Pavilion. She was so friendly and funny, and I loved that she shared memories of her dog Sugar. It seems she was never without the little stuffed dog made in its likeness. She was like a grandma to me, and I always stopped to talk to her and give her sweets when I brought them. It will not be the same when I visit my mom now. Nancy will be greatly missed.
