Christmas wasn't complete at our house until Bob and Nina arrived bearing stacks of beautifully wrapped gifts. It wasn't the presents that we so looked forward to, but spending time with my dad's cousin Bob and his wife Nina. Nina was so warm and loving, she really looked and saw each individual child. There were 9 of us. I so admired and loved her that I was determined to name my baby after her. The first 2 were boys, so I had to go for one more. My beloved daughter Nina is now 20 years old. What a mom and grandma she was. You were truly blessed to have her.

So sorry, Missy and Bob for the passing of your Mom. She was one of the sweetest people on this Earth. Visits from your Mom and Pop (and you guys later) were one of the true highlites of my childhood. So much time has passed (I'm old now, I guess) and still have such fond and happy memories. Peace and Love, Michael

Nina's first husband Bob Sticker was my Dad's cousin. Nina was a warm, wonderful lady. We always enjoyed visits from her and Bob when we were growing up. She'd laugh at our stories and silly jokes. She was loved by our whole family, Grandma,Grandpa, Mom,Dad and all nine of us kids. Condolences from our family. Sorry it took so long to get the news.

Missy, We are all so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a truly beautiful person, and was loved by our entire family. If we had heard about in time, we would have been there to help celebrate her wonderful life. She will be forever remembered in so many favorite Brennan stories. Sending you thoughts, prayers and hugs....John, Karoline, Ella, Julia and Savannah.
