    Des was like a part of my family. She was there for my mother before she passed and a companion and friend to my brother for over 30 years. My family misses her greatly. We wish her and her family peace and grace during this difficult time. Smith Family

    Nina was known to me as Gigi and she was my neighbor. I had a fun time going over to her place, playing with her dog, helping her with the TV and her cooking me some shrimp spaghetti. She was such a firecracker in spirit, and she seemed like she was enjoying her retired life, which gives me comfort. I send my wishes to her family and friends.
