Mrs. Nasarenko was such a blessing to our family when we were in Hampton. We will never forget all the meals and garden seeds and harvests she shared with us. We will remember all the visits and prayers we shared and are so glad God allowed us to get to know such a saint. May God strengthen you as you experience this time of separation. With love,
