To say we will miss Auntie Nina is an understatement. Her warmth and kindness was the first thing you met with her smile. Wishing her and her family peace.

Words can not express our sorrow over the loss of Aunt Nina. She was someone who understood everyone's needs and desires and tried to assist them to achieve them. She was understanding, compassionate, loving and easy to talk to. She was a Great Mom to everyone!
She will be greatly missed and remembered always.
May the Good Lord Accept you into Heaven to be with her Family members already there. WE WILL REMEMBER YOU
