*Nancy was a kindred spirit and an absolute joy to work with. We worked at Wal-Mart together. in time, as we got to know each other, we discovered that we both shared a mutual love for Cracker Barrel . Nancy and I decided we were going to go get us some Cracker Barrel. I should mention that there was no CB’s in this area at that time, so we made plans to travel to one in Jsnesville Wisconsin. We made a quick pit stop to pick up more family along the way in Rockford, I truly enjoyed that time with Nancy and her family and it’s a cherished memory I’ll never forget. . Rest in peace Nancy and someday, we will break bread together again.
MY PRAYERS GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY OF NANCY MITTAN FAMILY. NANCY SURE WAS A VERY NICE AND SWEET. I KNEW NANCY THROUGH WHERE I WORK AT WALMART. SHE CAME THROUGH MY LANE ALL THE TIME.
