I am so sad. Pruney (as I used to call her) and I had so much fun together in grade school. I remember her two horses, a tennessee walking horse and a quarter horse. we used to ride them. once we struggled to get my mother ontop of the quarter horse. my mother was in her house dress and apron and clinging onto the horn for dear life!! I thought it was astonishing that we both named our daughters "katherine marie'..
My deepest sympathy to the family.

love, suzanne

Jerry, Kate and family: Sorry for the loss of Nancy. Even though I didn't see her very often after Cortez Camera closed - it was always a pleasure to visit when I did see her. She will be missed by her many friends your family has made since 1974.
