Jon,Karyl, and family, Our hearts are heavy. We are so glad we were able to get Mom to the nursing home to see Nina several weeks ago. That visit was amazing. Taylor and I left our moms to talk and reminisce for about an hour. I am certain conversation included stories about camping trips, Rook games, and going to the Fish Camp for dinner on Friday nights. But most importantly, it was about a friendship that lasted 80 years plus. What a special lady. She will be missed and I know you have many good, sweet memories that you will cherish, as well. Our deepest sympathy and prayers for each one of you as you go through the days ahead. We love you.
Tammie, Paul, and Taylor Potts

Jon & Family Peace be with you. Please know that I would have loved to be there Thursday but please accept my apologies for due to my work, I unfortunately cannot make it. Just a note to tell you how blessed I am to have grown up within a church family that displayed and walked out the Gospel in oh so many ways. Nina and Randy were such a treasure to my parents and to both Mark and myself. We had a very special group of church elders and mentors to watch as we grew up to model our lives after for your mom and dad had a significant impact upon our lives. There is much rejoicing and feasting in heaven for Nina, for she has come home. May the Lord's peace be upon you, hold you, and walk with you...lean on Him, for His grace is sufficient. In Christ, Donnie

To the family of Nina, I send my sympathies to you as you remember and honor Nina. My earliest memories of the "ladies of the church" include Nina and Gladys. Both of these extraordinary women were so wonderful to me. As I grew up and moved away, I always counted on big hugs and smiles from them when I was back in town. Always welcoming. Always sincere. Always so generous with their time and love. Heaven is celebrating and the angels that walked among us are together again.
