Mom, whenever I think of you, I think of the story of "The Little Engine that Could."  With every sweet intonation of your voice I could hear the power of your convictions.  "I think I can, I think I can."  Enduring the tough times, as well as enjoying the good times.  You were an inspiration, perspiration, and a little exasperation!  You served an example to us all, in your devotion to Gleny, and all six of your "individual" children.  My children would not be the people they are today with out your unconditional love. May you rest in peace with your beloved husband, and our dear lord.  It was an honor to watch after you in your golden years. I loved you with my whole heart!

Mom was always the "Little Engine that Could."  I remember her reading that story to us as children, and with each intonation of her voice of her sweet voice, I could feel the power of her conviction. She was the, "Little Engine that Could."  Through all lives upheavals, six "individual" children, and the death of her beloved Gleny, she endured.  She was there for us.  In the hard times, the good times, and times of sorrow.  She "Chug, Chug, Chugged along."  Giving us inspiration, perspiration, and most of all unconditional love.  She led by example, especially with her love of "Gleny."  She was an ordinary woman, with an extraordinary heart!  May she rest in eternal peace with her beloved husband, and our dear Lord. I loved you Mom, with my whole heart!

May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences.
May she rest in peace.

Mom lived a beautiful life devoted to God, her husband Glen, her 6 children, 15 grand children, 3 great grand children (so far), and countless friends. She was loving, generous, selfless, funny, and courageous. She taught us much about life, including how to grow as a mature adult, how to age gracefully, and finally how to die peacefully. We will all miss her very much but do receive much comfort knowing that she is in heaven with God, Dad, and many loved ones. Dad gave us our roots but you, Mom, gave us our Wings! God bless you Mom and all the many lives you have touched in your time on earth!

Let Good Lord take Nina to the Kingdom of Peace and Eternal Joy. Her beautiful smiling face will always be with us.

She looks as beautiful in that picture as she did the first day I met her.  Rest in peace and I know that you are with the love of your life.  Julie Colgan

She was such a beautiful person, who touched many lives and made them richer. She will never be forgotten.
