A year later, I just discovered that she passed away. Nidra definitely had an impact on how Coach Rob views music as a form of art!

I went to College with Nidra, and everybody loved her, She had a joyful personality that would light up the room. She was absolutely adorable. She had a heart as big as the Moon shining bright among the stars.. All her best of friends will always have a place in our hearts for the most adorable lady in Los Angeles. And our Heavenly Father has a special place for her in His Kingdom of Heaven. Blessing to her precious family in the love, grace, comfort and peace and joy of Jesus
