Allison, Bo & Jackyln and families -- I'm so sad to learn of your Mom's passing and send you all condolences from our families over here in Prescott, the Ijams and Sialega familes, who knew Nancy and you kids. It's been a few years since we all have been in contact and we know that you've been busy raising your own kids with your husbands. My mom, Era Ijams, who is your grandpa Curly Hickey's sister, is now 95, and she and I have fond memories of how nice your Mom was to both of us. So your dad was my cousin. I first met your Mom when she and I both were 19! She was such a beauty and she was the most gorgeous bride I had ever seen! Yes, we went to your parents' wedding. It was really fun and full of life, and it was the first time I had menudo! It was special knowing you kids when you were little, and later even going to Allison's wedding and reception, also a fun time! I admire how close you all have been, looking out for each other and taking care of one another. You got that from your Mom as she has cared for her mother, Carmen, and son Bo. I have no doubt you are a threesome right now, holding each other close as you go through this tough time of losing your Mom. May the Lord comfort you all and your families and the Dennis families --Sending our love and prayers, Salina (Ijams) Sialega and my husband Ben & our 4 girls (and now 3 sons-in-law and 6 grandchildren), Prescott, Ariz. -- Oct. 30, 2018
