Nina was a beautiful person with such a kind soul. She would see you after months or years had passed and approach you like you were her best friend she had seen yesterday. The world has lost a light. Rest in Peace

My dear Nina, it is with a heavy heart that I write this. Your departure was sudden and deeply unexpected. I keep remembering how you always called me whenever I made piñon.“Fo Kofi, where is my piñon? Fo Kofi, you made piñon and you didn’t give me any.” I would always apologize and tease you for not visiting, and now I realize how precious those moments were. Today, I can no longer hear your tender, joyful voice, but I believe that wherever you are, you have found peace. I pray that your family finds the strength and fortitude to endure this painful loss, especially your mother and your sister Josiane whom you have left behind. Love you always, Nina.

My dear friend,
You really gave me smiles that I could never get from anyone. I remember how we use to have conversation for several hours and yet get home to continue on call. Who am I going to call to come home let’s cook and eat. I remember I told you we were going to have a great Christmas but you left me with tears nina. I ask you if you okay on the day you left the world and you said ‘’yes’’ ….You were more than a friend to me. Forever grateful for the short period friendship we had. It’s was worth memorable. May God grant you peace and comfort in your journey. I am always teary when I remember the moment we shared together. Rest well Nina 😭😭💔🥀

I was deeply saddened to hear about Nina’s passing. She had such a warm, charming spirit. I still remember the first time I met her at church. It was her birthday and also my very first time there. She greeted me so kindly and immediately made me feel welcome.
Nina had a way of turning everything into a light moment, always carrying that infectious smile wherever she went.
She was truly an inspiration, and it’s heartbreaking to see her leave us so soon.
We take comfort in knowing she is in a better place. Until we meet again, Nina, you will be missed dearly. Rest in perfect peace.

Nina and I met in our early years of high school. Even though she went to school in Surrey and I was in Vancouver, we had mutual friends. People kept telling me they knew a girl named Nina who looked just like me. To my surprise, they were right we looked almost identical, from our facial features to our structure.
But what stood out even more than the resemblance was her heart. When we spoke, I realized how kind she was. Nina genuinely wanted to uplift the people around her. She carried a warmth that made you feel seen and valued.
As time passed and adulthood took over, we lost touch, but we always reconnected through birthday messages hers on the 11th and mine on the 16th. One thing I learned from her is to always choose kindness with everyone you meet.
Nina will be missed deeply. She touched so many lives, not only through her content, but simply by being herself.

Nina, my best friend’s sister, who was practically my baby sister.
I last saw you when I visited Vancouver ten years ago, and I had so much hope for you. I would ask after you every time I spoke with your sister. I truly wish we had talked more.
You were so young and healthy, and I thought we had time. I cannot forget your smile, the way you laughed and shared such light everywhere you went. Your presence was warmth, joy, and love.
Rest in the bosom of the Lord.
With love,
Mimi
