Farnach Family,
We are so sorry for your loss.. We will miss her most when she use to come out of the woods on her walks and come into the backyard and scare me half to death and then we would laugh and then talk. We will miss that so much. Nina may you be with the Angels now. We will never forget you.
Your Neighbors,
Kate Adams and Michael Senical

To Nina's family, Back in the 60's, I worked as a summer college employee in the Bristol Lab library. I will always remember Nina as one of the most gentle, sincerest individuals with whom I have ever had the good fortune to cross paths. No doubt you know how special she was, I hope it brings you peace to know others feel the same way.
