I will miss her dearly
Our condolences to all you. She was a wonderful woman!
We are sending hugs to all of you. Our mom always talked of your mom with such love and laughter. I bet she is still taking credit for matching your parents up in life .What a grand time they must be having in heaven right now all together.
I always enjoyed visiting with, and playing volleyball with Nita, she was a great sport & a wonderful & fun person, I’m sure they (theKerrigans ‘) are all having a ball in heaven!! The Eisenmenger picnics were the best!
Nita was one of the nicest people I have ever met. She was at the nursing home where my Grandma (Alma Schroder) is at and my Grandma just loved her so much. They had so much fun doing things together. They went outside and sat for hours visiting away. They helped each other as much as they could. My sympathy is with you and all of your families.
Condolences and regret that I could not be present at Saint James church. God Bless your family at this challenging time in life. Please let me know if your family needs any support. Amen
