Words cannot express my heart felt feelings for the passing of your mom. Not only was she your mom, but I felt like I had a second mom that always treated me like a son. I will forever be blessed that she was part of my life growing up. I send my love to all. I loved your mom and she will always be in my heart. Love you all Jimmy.

Our family remembers sharing so many great times with Nita, Loren and your family in our old Millhaven neighborhood. She always greeted us with that warm, friendly smile and volunteered to help in any way she could. Loss of loved ones seems even tougher during holidays. Blessings.

It's very difficult to lose a parent, even when you are prepared for it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Know that your mom made an impact on many students while she was teaching, and then continued to give of herself to help others. She has left the world better than she found it.
