If you were able to custom design your neighbors, you'd end up with Nina. We only lived on the same street for a few years, but they were the most memorable of anywhere we've lived. If we were thinking about putting together an event -- say, the Easter egg hunt -- "You like it, I love it. We'll do it here!"

Warm Embrace Arrangement

Tom, Declan, and Griffin are hearts are broken for your loss. Christmas at the Meon’s won’t be the same without your amazing wife and mom. Her friendship meant the world to me. You will never know how much she has helped me through my struggles the past few years. She was and always will be a shining star in my life. Our hearts are with you. MaryPat, Perry, Will, Dan, and Elizabeth Krumsiek.

I am very sorry for all her family. I went to grammar school and high school with Nina. It has been awhile since I have seen her but it was always fun to catch up with each other. RIP.

This moving obituary is only the tip of the iceberg of a truly exceptional person. I knew her for too short of a time as the aunt of my best friend but she was not only family to the Burke's but to Jackie and I as well. Her beautiful soul has certainly found rest as well as peace in all of our hearts. my sincere condolences to her family and friends.
