I knew Nina for years she was the type of person who would turn that frown upside down and she was the woman who turned me towards the light when I was blind and lost. A few years ago I turned away from Jesus and I just wish I talked to her because i'm skeptical now seeing her in her casket lifeless I don't see where she PHYSICALLY went I lost all faith how do I find him again?

I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful woman. I met her for the first time last year when my dad and I were visiting family and I will never forget her. She had great stories about my grandparents. My sincere condolences go out to her family.

There's so many memories of you and I, there's the time you taught me how to do dishes and how to fold my clothes and towels. You taught me about the Lord and who he was and what he did for us and still does for us, you taught me how to pray for the first time. You gave me my first Bible and taught me how to read it. I can't thank you enough for teaching me how to do all those things. Your my world and my heart, I miss you and love you so much Grammy R.I.P
