I got to know Nita through my Mom, Lorraine Lieser Mohs. Everytime I came home to St. Cloud to see Mom and spend several weeks with her, I would attend Sunday Mass and then go out to brunch with Mom and her friends. One of those friends was Nita. She always had a big smile - and - laughed at my jokes. I will miss her.
