Nadine Wood gave me the great pleasure of helping her with the shopping for the carloads of food that she so ably chose and managed, to give mountains of nourishment and enjoyment to the hundreds of bridge players at the Washington Bridge League's regular sectional tournaments. She was amazing. I will miss her good nature, her wonderful kind and generous spirit. I treasure the memory of her. My best wishes to all of her family and her many other friends.

My Dearest Friend, Nadine
How can I ever express fully my loving thanks for your 71 years of caring, loving, fun-filled, very special moments and events we have shared in our lives together. We began in grade school, with your dear sister, Carolyn and your mother and dad. We continued our journey of “sisterhood” through jr. high, high school, university, and then shared in our wedding ceremonies. Our lives continued to cross with our devoted spouses, Roland and Richard with our families to follow. Through those years my family and I have been gifted with your joy, care, humor, passion for life and faithfulness, always there for any moment or event. You are a unique lady and have been a “light” for so many with your precious family, friends and professional associates. We all are better for your life. I cannot bear to say ”goodbye” my dearest forever friend and “sister”, so will send my eternal love “until we meet again.” Your devoted Shirley and her family.

I am so distressed that I only found out about Nadine's death after her service. Otherwise, I would have been there. I valued her friendship, she was an important mentor to me and a fabulous chef. I will miss her greatly and will always appreciate our time together.

Nadine, great friend, bridge partner and dinner companion. She was a driving force behind the ACBL, Mid-Atlantic Bridge Conference and Washington Bridge League. We will all miss her greatly. Rest in peace.

The only thing bigger than Nadine's smile and laughter, which filled a room, was her heart. Her generous spirit enriched my life and I will cherish every memory we made together. May her love for life live on in her beautiful and extended family forever.

Nadine worked harder for bridge at every level and to her the causes were more important than any self gratification.
She was a friend, a bridge partner and made the best crab cakes of anyone that I know.
My heart and thoughts go to her wonderful family, goodbye Nadine.

Nadine was a cheerful and willing guide to me when I came on the ACBL Board. I soon learned that her capacity and willingness for work, especially those deadly detailed projects everyone else shunned, made her irreplaceable. When I succeeded her as Minutes Chair, she kept on me by email to make sure I was getting it right--I shall miss that, and her, terribly.

Dear Family, I met Nadine at a bridge tournamment in Alexandria, Virginia and it was my pleasure to know her. I will never forget her helpfulness, cheerfulness, and hospitality. She was, indeed, one of a kind. My prayers are with you.
