Dear Running Family
My family and I offer you our deepest sympathies for your loss. Nena was so, so special—“an extraordinary woman who lived simply” is a wonderful way to say it. My Mother, Isabel Bradshaw, just loved seeing Nena, as did I; and I had the added benefit of seeing so much of my good friend Paul in her. Nena, you will be greatly missed.
