Aunt Nico was a very special person in my life. I was Blessed to call her Aunt Nico for 45 years. So many fun, wonderful and cherished memories. She cared deeply for her family and for her pets. From her smile and laughter to her generous heart, she was a faithful Christian woman who loved our Lord and Savior and His Blessed Mother Mary. She will be dearly missed here on Earth but Heaven has a new Angel to look after the children and care for the animals. Everyone loved Aunt Nico. Rest In Peace Dear Lady. Love You Always. Kathy.

My dear aunt Nico because of your caring and loving ways you were loved by many. The good Lord granted you a long life. You lived to serve the Lord and the blessed Virgin Mary. I know that you are now present in God's Kingdom. As a child I could not pronounce your name so I called you "Nini" and did so until the very end. I'm deeply saddened and heartbroken. I will never forget you and I will always love you.

Great Aunt Nico was one of God's angel's - sent down here from heaven to look out after her family and teach us by her example how a true Christian should live - following Jesus every single day of her life. She loved caring for her animals, playing bingo, and spending time with friends and family. We love her and will forever hold her dear to our hearts. Chris, Melissa, Cole, & Cayden
