My deepest sympathies to the family. I always thought of Nina as my `second mom´. Spending several overnights at the house, Denise and I driving her crazy with our late night/early morning laughter. She was intelligent, strong, and her sense of humor never wavered. It seemed like every story she told always had a lesson behind it (I believe this drove Denise crazy). I loved the fact that no matter how long it was since the last time she saw you, Nina had the ability to pick up a conversation and just roll...I´d call it, the gift of gab. Nina will be missed by all that love her. Prayers to the family.

I met your mother while I worked at Lifepoint. She was a joy to visit with. She was always smiling and was a very kind person. My sympathies are with your family.

Sympathy and prayers to the family. I worked in the same office with Nina at Parker. She was always helpful and nice to me. She was also a good student when we transitioned to AutoCAD. I'm sure she will be missed.
