I just found out about this. It has been a rough Week, the grief is fresh for Me. I loved and never forgot about Her. We had a special relationship. I don't want to bring back memories of old grief though it would be nice to talk to Her Father John one last time if He is still around. I understand if not. This name on Facebook should find Me easily. I'm so sorry for all that knew Her. There is not many People from my past that I remember 21-22 Years later. I hope you have all found good Lives :,)

I only learned today of Nina's passing. I am heartsick for your family's pain. I coached Nina in Holy Spirit CYO basketball and Nina was a wonderful person. We had a great team and Nina's spirit, smile and enthusiasm was one key to our wonderful season. She is in Jesus's arms. Please know she touched this old coaches heart.

Nina was the very first best friend that I ever had. I loved her like a sister and I am blessed to have had her in my life.
She was an amazing girl: intelligent, funny, strong, creative, thoughtful, beautiful, protective and never wasted an opportunity to try and get us into trouble... ha :/
Even though we went our separate ways she left a lasting impression on me. No matter how many years had passed she always retained a special place in my heart and anyone who has ever heard me speak about my childhood memories has heard stories about the first "bestie" I ever had.
I never had the privilege of getting to know her as an adult but I know that she was loved and that she will be deeply missed by many, simply because anything other than that would be impossible.
I don't even know if her parents or her brother would even remember me but my prayers are with them and the rest of her family and friends.
I wish I would've learned of this sooner, but it's never too late to send your love and prayers.
I will never forget you Nina,
Rest in peace.

Nina's wonderful spirit will always live amongst us but we will miss seeing her or at least knowing how she was doing. Nini's beautiful looks were as beautiful as her caring heart for others. She was so kind, humble, full of life and always willing to lend a helping hand. We will miss seeing that beautiful loving glowing smile. We will always pray for you Nini! Rest in peace and my GOD have you near. Until we meet again Nini. WE LOVE YOU!

Dear John, Jenny and Josh and all, Pat and I are absolutely devastated to hear about Nini. We would have been at her funeral had we known, of course. My last memory of her is so sweet, she just dropped in on her old neighbor for a visit. My gray hair surprised her! As she left, we hugged, and told each other "I love you." I will always be thankful I had the opportunity to tell her that. We hold you all in our prayers, and in our happy shared memories of times past. God Bless, the Hodges.

I am glad i got to share some of your last moments with you and i will never trade those moments for anything in the world. You are so beautiful inside and out.Your beautiful smiles is a blessing to anyone whom you light it upon. You are a gift and a blessing to us and you will forever live long in our memories. Your life was short but touches my deepest soul and taught me how to be stronger, to fight for those i love, to cherish those little moment i might never have again, to give without expecting something in return, to forgive and to be humble. We are like a burning candle, When our wax is up there is nothing we can do about it. Janina, your candle burn, it burn to bright and it burn a part of us, a part of us that never want to let you go, a part of us that will forever live with you and you with us. Your light was so bright Nina, so bright it touches so many souls. Your humble free spirit, most especially your ever addictive SMILES.Our Heart is broken but at the same time at peace knowing you are safe with the Lord. We love you so much Nina, Josh, Shelly, Momo, Tita,Tito dad and mom Loves you so much. Goodnight Nina, till we all wake together with the Lord, We will see you again. Sweet dreams Our Precious Gift.

Dear John, Jenny and Josh,
I am so sorry for the loss of Nina. My heart just breaks for your family. Words cannot tell you how sad I am that I did not find out in time to come to her funeral. We consider Janina, and everyone else in your family, a part of our family and often look back and laugh at the fun times that we shared. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

although I only had a short time to know Janina, she left quite an impression on me I have a couple of memories that come to mind: cute bubbly girl in a red dress, frugal sense of fashion, She could find a Nordstroms look at "The Buckle" , love of all creatures, had a chameleon on her dad's tree that was tame and cool that I went out and bought one. I Fell in love with her sweet natured mini sheltie that I went out and bought a identical looking dog. But realized it wasn't the same without having Janina dog whisperer touch.
