Terry, Jerry and family:
Please accept our deepest and most sincere sympathies at the passing of your mother. We know how hard it must be, losing a best friend and then a mother. Place all your trust in the Lord from whence comes all comfort and consolation.
Well what can I say? You were my best friend for over 40 years. So many memories we shared. You were my coffee partner every day. I will miss you very very much. You were like a mother to me. I won’t be able to confide in you now. I know you are in heaven and hopefully with your family. Til we meet again my dear friend,Mardella and Louie
This lady was a wonderful lady. Always laughing, when I had coffee with her and my sister Mardella. We had some good times.. I saw her every summer when back there and was very sorry to hear about her passing. Coffee times will never be the same. My condolences to the family..
Our family (Shea/Pawlovich) has suffered a tremendous loss. Aunt Nina will be forever loved and remembered. To all our cousins we offer our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom.
Sincerely
Loretta “Sunny” Ryan, Phoenix, AZ.;Thom & Jenny Ryan & sons, Long Beach, CA; Teri & Robb Silbert & daughters, Cave Creek, AZ.
So many days and months that we use to wave at each other when I worked at the cafe and the joy that I got out of waiting on you.
PRICELESS MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!
We will miss that wit and humor that you had, you were quite a friend and we will miss you much.
God Bless everyone

From the daughter of her deceased nephew & step-niece Dick & Kathy Pawlovich, will send my deepest prayers to your family. I know it very hard to lose your loved one. Was hoping to see her this summer for the renion. My memories of her are not visual, as I am the youngest, but her name, I know, was deep & true to my parents. May they all enjoy there eternal life together now in heaven & be waiting there for us to welcome the family to be together again. May God Bless her life & soul.
Nina was like a grandma to us kids that never had the chance to meet Grandma Linnea Pawlovich. So we are very thankful we had someone to fill in that gap. And she did it oh so well!
WE ALL MISS YOU AUNT NINA!

I will miss all the times I would go back to SD and visit Aunt Nina. We would have coffee and a cigarette (back then) and have wonderful visits. I’m so glad we had time to spend together the past few years, too. You will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nina’s family – my cousins.
I just talked to my Mom, Margaret Hammer, who had heard recently that Nina had passed away. I just wanted to express our condolences. Nina and Mom had many, many good times together, probably even stirred up a little mischief at times! They certainly shared a lot of laughs and more than a few beers!
I had been home in mid-March and had planned on bringing Mom over for a visit. She (Mom) didn’t feel well, so we didn’t go – another regret to add to the list. Mom had always called Nina once a month and had wondered why she hadn’t gotten an answer the past couple.
Once again, our sympathies to your family. Mom will miss one of her oldest girlfriends.
