Words from Nancy's mother, Gloria: "Nancy was an active-aware loving child. She grew to be a loving being. Leaving behind family, extended family and friends and several lifetime groups of friends who spent all their time with her during her illness. That was her tribe group, her words, and neighbors who saw she was never alone."

She became a great friend with the women who became her caretaker and often in her last weeks spent nights when she couldn’t sleep having sometimes funny ,and always interesting talks with.
