Nina, Thank you for always being in my life and never turning your back on me. You were always my savior and the person i went to for everything. I'm going to miss you more than words can describe. I'll never forget all the times we spent together and every single weekend was spent with you. I'll never forget driving out to the racetrack, jaming out to music, staying up late, and having the best times ever. You are now my guardian angel as you told me you would be when i was a kid and i know you'll be there ever step of my life.
