Nadine often baked a cake for Yvonne's afterschool snack. We would walk home from St Augustines, (Yvonne and I )and I was always invited to have some cake with her. Nadine was always kind and welcomed me in a way that very few parents ever have. She cared about people, she cared about me. Her children were incredibly blessed by Nadines gentleness and love, I was blessed by the small and yet special memories I have from my childhood. May she rest in peace, and those that loved her so much find peace and grace in God's comfort and love.
