I had the pleasure of knowing Nancy from Prairie Meadows. She did a fantastic jobs with those uniforms no matter how much we as employees we damaged them!!
One day Nancy overheard my desire to get a cat as a companion She knew of one that needed a new home. So to this day, Sophie, the cat, and I are very happy. Nancy always asked about her too She talked about her family all the time, especially those road trips in the Semi with her son. She be missed and always remembered fondly.
