Nancy Lozano
Hello everyone. To those Iâve yet to shake hands with, my name is Vanessa. Unlike everyone here, Iâve only known Nancy long enough to care for her leading up to her passing. But even as a mere CNA by her side the past few weeks, I can easily validate why you sit here today in celebrating her life.
Before I was given this particular assignment, Nancy was briefly described to me as âvery direct, she knows what she wants, and can be verbally harsh, so be carefulâ. Iâve had similar types of cases introduced to me this way before, so from experience, I knew Nancy and I would get along just fine.
Nancy was surely direct. She directed.. my every move. She told you when to do something, how to do it, and if you missed it the first time, you were better off lighting a fire under your butt, or Nancy will. It took a few days for me to get used to her mannerisms of doing things exactly how she wanted you to. That if you knew it a certain way from her way, say goodbye to your way. It was for your own good.
Nancy definitely knew what she wanted. It reaffirmed me that being as picky as I am too was okay. She would tell you, âyouâre your own boss, donât let nobody tell you what to doâ, the irony was a bit comical given Nancy was mine. Nonetheless, I knew her good intentions, why I always appreciated the value of her words because I knew she was giving them away with love.
Lastly, Nancy was verbally harsh. Not all the time, but enough that I found it to be just hilariously forgiving. She would acknowledge it too, saying on some days, âIâm trying to be nice but you donât listenâ. In other words, if she was being harsh, it was your fault. You just couldnât get mad at her for being funny, but also telling it like it was. If you thought it, Nancy said it for you. So it wasnât necessarily that she was capable of being âverbally harshâ, she was just âkeepin it realâ, and in my book, that was true friendship, and thatâs all Nancy k

Nancy was one of the most giving persons I ever knew. She spend money on everyone, instead of herself. We enjoyed the many times she came to visit us in Az. Especially the year we went to Disneyland. We will miss her deeply and she will always be in our thoughts and our hearts. Joseph and Erma

I remember when I would be relaxing on the couch and she would walk up and pull my toes and make them crack. It hurts so much yet felt so good.

I am going to be there through good and bad times to my BFFFs. I will never leave your side Melissa Be, Be Melissa Be I promised your mom when I spoked to her lasted on Tuesday when I went to your house Tuesday. I know it will be hard to let go because she was your mom and your buddy. It will take time I won't go no where same with Ralph, shorty, and John. She was a great person in my life she always found ways to talk and make me laugh through my problems at home. Dealing with my dad illness too. She was also there when needed to express myself to someone or something. She could read me from the inside. I thought no one could read me anymore but she did. You got really happy because of how she could read me Because you could not. I am still heart broken but we have each other to count on for many more years to come. For them too. But I will never leave you and if you need me I am there I will try my best not to busy. Only when my family has something going on. I am going to miss her she was the best to You, me, Ralphy, Shorty and John need each other. I am going to miss the most making each other laughing with her. With how she made us laugh when we needed the most like when you do it. Please never change keep that spirit alive. It will take time to do that again, we will not go no where. And her talking about her boyfriends and Ralphy, being Sonny and looking like him in her eyes. To Ralph he will always be Sonny. I/we just wanted to say I/we love you Ella don't forget that.
