Dear Missy, Dana and families – growing up with a beautiful, kind and talented cousin like Nina was an inspiration. Her gentle way, easy laugh and warm heart will always come to mind when we remember her. We loved her very much and were blessed to have had her in our lives.

I helped Nina with her insurance and she was a joy! Also I knew her from the doctors office that she used to work at in Harrisonburg, VA. She was a friend as well as a client and was so very nice! I will miss seeing her during the Medicare open enrollment. She normally made the trip back to Harrisonburg.
