Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of bereavement. We grew up with Nina and the rest of the family when their mom, Granny, babysitted for our mom, Dorothy, on K Street. I'll always remember Nina's gracious smile and willingness to offer sound advice. Embracing and charishing the precious memories can help you through the difficult times. Also, please allow God to keep you in perfect peace by keeping your mind stayed on Him.
