So sad to hear about my dear cousin’s death. Nina and I had wonderful memories of spending time at our Memere & Pepere Lavigne’s home on Branch Street, and when visiting each other’s homes. I will miss her.

Nina was my dearest friend who loved everyone and truly was a great example. Personally she was always there for me and I am very grateful. My heart is with Bill, Kelly, Ryan and all of her extended family at this difficult time. My comfort is knowing that she is in God’s home (probably hollering at Collette).

Nina was a wonderful person and full of fun. I worked with her in Lowell @ Raytheon. I just heard from a friend about her passing. She was a special lady I have always liked from the day I met her. God Bless you Nina.
