    Nita was a kind and caring person to my parents and to us girls. Dad always felt safe when she came in the door and knew he would be well taken care of. She could ease his suffering and calm him down just by talking to him. Mom still covers up with the quilt she made her. She will always be remembered. I'd like to think she is with Dad now. May she rest in peace.

    Nita - the most caring, compassionate care giver our father ever had. His eyes would light up when you arrived every morning, always on time with a smile for him. You were a terrific advocate for elder care. Prayers for her mother, sons, and all the friends she left behind. Peace be with you, Nita
