WHO WAS NANCY PRESTON?

Nancy was a mother, grandmother and great grandmother who always enjoyed the outdoors and horses. In her youth, she rode horses in Panama and told many stories of her special horse Diablo. She passed on her passion for horses to her daughter Elena and enjoyed spending time together at rodeos. 

"My mom was the most amazing woman, mother, and Nana anyone could ever ask for...RIP mom...I know you are...doing what you loved - riding those horses in the sky!"
