    We were shocked and saddened at the passing of your beautiful Nina. At the Christmas party downstairs at the Legion last month ,she was happy and vibrant, as usual and looking forward to returning to Puerto Rico in January. The two of you were a very special couple. May God bless you.

    Your friends,

    We were shocked to hear of Nina’s passing. She sounded so upbeat when we spoke to her Wednesday night.
    The Friday picnics at Playa Azul will never be the same without Nina and her beautiful smile asking everyone if they would like a piece of her delicious Key Lime Pie. She will be dearly missed.
    Our hearts and prayers go out to Frank and the family.
    Love,
    Rhoda and Claude
