Such is the case of “Nancy” and Southwest Airlines. Those of you know me personally, know that I am not an emotional person. This is a story that does warm my heart though and makes me want to only fly Southwest (which I’m a huge fan of already). Nancy had a murder in her family and called Southwest to let them know. This is her story… after the break…
