Of all the San Franciscans we could have had for neighbors - none could equal the Artals. Living next door to you for the last 20 years has meant a great deal to us. And it makes the loss of Nancy really tremendous for us. We will cherish our memories of her for the rest of our lives. Our thoughts are with you.
