I had the honor of knowing this beautiful lady. She kept me motivated while i was in nursing school and was one of the many cheerleaders that i had. I knew her for almost 7 years before she moved to be closer with her daughter. I always thought about her and she was and will always remain in my heart. Love and miss you Ms. Nadine
