My prayers are with you, Donna and all of your loved ones. Knowing your mom is with Jesus is such a comfort. She is at peace at last. Allow God's healing hands of time to cover your sorrow. Love you, Nita "Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5b.

Donna and Lynn I'm so sorry to hear of your sweet mom's passing.
Although we haven't seen each other since y'all left Ras Tanura I will always treasure the hours spent with Nina bowling, playing cards and simply hanging out. I did get to spend about an hour chatting with her on the phone once and I sure enjoyed it. Sending prayers for all of you. Ms. Lou
