Very sad that Aunt Nadine has left us all but I'm certain that she and her sisters are rejoicing at their reunion. She remained her unique and authentic self throughout her life. One of those rare people of whom it is actually true that what you see is what you get. Our condolences to Naomi, Richard, Dennis and all the extended family. We pray for you.

Nadine was such a unique character and important part of the Elmont community. Her sometimes gruff exterior protected her big heart. She made me laugh and give great hugs. She brought food and personality to the many holiday meals my parents hosted. Elmont community supported each other with caring kindness, and of course food. I make her taco salad recipe regularly for family and friends. She will be missed, not only by her sons and daughter, but by everyone she came in contact with. Rest is peace Nadine. You've completed your journey and are joining others who went before you. Love you and your family, Brenda

Richard & Naomi,

I was so sorry to see of Nadine's passing. She was a very nice lady and when she lived at the Cottages she would come over about everyday and say hi. She will be missed dearly. My condolences to the family.
