Dear Cary, Joan, Adam and Maya,
We are so sorry for your loss...Aunt Nadine will be missed...she was always thinking of others, just last July when we stopped to see her, she shared some delicious fruit that she had been saving for us. She was sweet, kind, gentle and loving. Praying God's comfort for each of you today and in the days ahead. We love you! Nancy and Jim Molenhouse and family

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. I did your Moms hair at St. Joes. She always had great stories and a smiling face. I loved getting to know her. She spoke about her grandchildren and was so proud of her children. May God bless all of you and comfort you all.

I remember your precious Mom, Joan, and her sweet smile. I know that my Mom gave her such a warm greeting in heaven, and was so happy to see her. May God cradle you all close to His heart in all of the time that you grieve and give you great joy in sweet memories and anticipation of our amazing reunion one day! Much love!

My sincere condolences to the family of Nadine. She was a valued friend. We went through many highs and lows together. She was a longtime member of our Friday night discussion group. In joy and sorrow we shared life when Piet and I lived in Trumbull with our family. I so often think of her. May God's comfort grant you peace.
