I will dearly miss Mrs. W. I’ve known her since high school, when I became friends with her daughters, Lil and Al. From the very beginning, she welcomed me with open arms and the warmest heart. She had the kindest soul, the sweetest laugh, and a smile that could light up any room.
Mrs. W was always there making her famous pizzas, caring for everyone around her, and loving us like her own. She stepped in with such grace and compassion, especially after my mom passed, and I will never forget that.

I love you, little Nina… I will miss you more than words can say. I promise to take care of your girls, just like you took care of me. May God bless you and keep you close, and please give my love to Patty and Mo. I hope you’re looking down on us on the beautiful friendships you helped nurture and know how deeply you shaped who we are today.

You’ll always be a part of us.

With all my love,
Courtney C
