Aunt Nina always made me feel special when I spoke with her. She liked to call me "Billy-Gene," and would recount events from my very young years, going back in time to before my memories reach. I really appreciated that, as well as her memories of family that went back even further in time. She gave color to so many old black and white family photos of ancestors I often never knew, but enjoyed listening to her talk about. Not a few of those photos showed family singing joyfully around a player piano, something she treasured. With her passing our family has lost a valuable link to the past. Aunt Nina was almost always upbeat, liked to laugh, and took so many challenges in stride. She had the ability to find humor in things, which made talking with her delightful, and she loved to converse. She also maintained friendships from her early days, often telling me about her friends in her home town that she stayed in touch with and appreciated so much. She lived a long, full life, raising a family in far off places and in challenging circumstances at times. Aunt Nina was down-to-earth, loving, and made me and others feel special. I will truly miss her, almost certainly more as time continues on.
