Messages of Love

From family and friends

Aunt Dean, Has always been my ray of sunshine and inspiration; going about her busy day blessing and loving everyone in her path. I have never know anyone that loved the Lord more and truly walked the Christian walk daily throughout all of her trials and tribulations more than Nadine. Her smile, laughter and song fills the room and my heart. A few months ago, Aunt Dean told me she was paid up, prayed up and ready to go. I know the Lord hugged her so tight and said well done my good and faithful servant. Psalm 71:7 - My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protector.
