The family wishes to thank our many loved ones who have been such a tremendous support through their helpful service and heartfelt kindness in this time.

Of Nina, know this: so passes a woman of faith, a true worshiper of God in spirit and in truth, a woman in whom is no guile, a wise Bible-teacher who keeps to the ways of kindness, one who loves Jesus and lives from a place of deep conviction and resolute joy, an oak of righteousness, a woman of dignity and strength, a rock, a tender heart who loves every color of the rainbow and every living thing, a woman of whom the world is not worthy and for whom the pen has not ink enough to write nor page room enough to hold. What all she is to us cannot be described, and we are grieved to lose her. To know her truly was to see the face of God.
