When I learned that she had never tried their fabulous Key Lime pie, I ordered her a slice.  This photo captures her amazement at the slice they served her - it's a pleasure to remember that she enjoyed every delicious bite!  A treasured memory of our visits to Blue Heaven!

My mother just learned of her very good friend’s passing. She is heartbroken. My mother, Masako, and Nidia met in the 80’s and became very close. She said Nidia was a beautiful, strong and independent woman with a heart of gold. She has very fond memories with her and will forever hold them close to her heart. We send love and condolences to the family.

Just saw this.  Did not know Nidia had passed.  One of my favorite people on Earth.  She was the Duchess of Key West. We had some fun times in Key West.  Love you Nidia!   I know I will see you again in Heaven some day.   Heartfelt Sympathy to your family.   

I was so very sad to learn that my sweet friend has passed. I noticed that I didn’t receive my annual November 3rd birthday card,as  Athena’s special day is just after mine. My heart felt sympathy goes out to her family that loved her so very much. Nidia & I shared many wonderful times together as well as styling hair in her A-1 Beauty Salon. Key West has lost another wonderful lady. Rest In Peace.

So very sorry for the loss of your Mom and Grandmother.  Nidia was so proud of her family and grandchildren - I could feel her love for you all whenever we spoke of family.  Nidia did my hair for so many years that we became friends.  We shared a love for Bingo and always sat together at the Bingo games here in Key West.  Her knowledge of numbers was phenomenal - I'll always remember the joy with which she talked and smiled about numbers.  Her spirit and smile will be with me whenever I go to a Bingo game.  Her memory will have a special place in my heart.   

We are holding your family in our hearts, and send our deepest condolences. May your memories of your beautiful mom be a blessing and comfort as you grieve. 🌹

Thank you for your constant love and all the life lessons. You were the bravest person I ever knew. Always wanting to help others but no
one came before family. RIP my sweet Mama. Until we meet again, when I think of you I will remember the love.  A poem I found in your handwriting. 
Our family is a circle of strength and love. With every birth and every union the circle grows wider. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle that much stronger. 

  So sad to see you go, you will be missed by many family and friends.  You were such a good mother and grandmother to your family.  Enjoyed the time that we spent together, fun times  R.I.P.

RIP Nidia... your work here is done.  You were such a wonderful lady and I am so fortunate that I had the opportunity to know you.  You will be missed by many.
