I visited with Nancy years ago as she passed through sacramento but never knew she settled in S.F. I am 'happy to hear that she had a long nursing career and a loving family. My condolences to her family and friends. Mercy classmate, Mary Ann Bratina Pujals

To Nancy's family
We have tried so hard to find Nancy. She is a classmate from Mercy--the Class of 1956.
We offer you our sympathy. She was a beautiful, fun loving, good person and a great nursing student. It is our loss that we were unable to contact her and share so many memories.
My e-mail is [email protected] and I would love hearing from anyone. Thank you and God Bless... Mary Deering
