My late mother, Estella Gomez knew Nancy for many years. Our family had the pleasure of knowing her because my mother took care of Janis, her daughter for quite some time. Please accept our condolences from the Israel Gomez family in Victoria, Texas. (I have been trying to locate Janis). [email protected]
