Nina and I became good friends upon her arrival to Boca Grove and remain so up to the day she was leaving for Israel where she called me all excited and hoping that all is going smoothly and that she had dotted every I and crossed every T. I remember those one minute conversations that always lasted 10 or 15 minutes with blow-by-blow descriptions of her grandchildrenâ??s activities and always asking about my children and grandchildren. We spent some serious times and many fun times together walking together in our embrace T-shirts last year and feeling very happy. Nina was a caring friend and has a very special place in my heart. Sprinkle words of wisdom to all of us from up above.
I love you Mimi, and Iâ??ll never forget how much you did for me. Thank you, for everything.
I cannot believe Nini is gone! We were so close growing up. My memories flood over me: sleepovers with pop pop as baby sitter telling us about morris and the pigeons, movies we loved! Phila orch children's concerts, Atlanfic city "on the boardwalk", harvey house on broad street, playing dress up (aunt ruth had great shoes), family seders with uncle marty saying "faster pop faster!" Nini (my name for her til we were about 10) was the one with the cavities! Later on competition estraged us but if she reads this now i can hear her laughing! She would remember the Blum Store and the pale blue coats we both had and the leggings we hated! All yhis forever in my heart..i never got to say goodbye! Your cousin susie
I cannot believe my Nini is gone! We shared so many sleepovers, movies, atlantic city, dressups (aunt ruth had great shoes), trips to the Blum store, harvey house, phila orch children's concerts, family seders (uncle marty would say "faster pop faster" to our grandpop who was our baby sitter, we always heard about morris and the pigeons. Later we were more competitive but it is Nini (the name i used til we were about 10) that i remember with so much affection and a deep sense of loss!
She was a great person who taught me so much. She will be missed.
Nina had a love of life and boundless energy She always shared stories of her family with great prideWith our sincere condolences to her familyPhyllis and Harvey Granat
We of the family are shocked grieved beyond words at the very untimely loss of our cousin Nina who was so full beautiful and full of life. Not only did she cherish her children Lani and Scott and their children Adam, Andrew, Sydney and Sloane, she also kept in close touch with her dear brother Stephen, our dear Aunt Esther and all of her cousins both here and in Israel. We could always count on Nina to delve into all the details of all of our lives to the point where she often knew more about us and our immediate families than we knew about ourselves! Nina was invariably present at all family gatherings. The reason she did that is her genuine caring attitude. She was literally the glue that kept our family together. I dearly loved my beautiful and brilliant cousin Nina. I will miss her terribly.Adam Bender
