Tony and Pat
we are so sorry for your loss and will miss Nia in our family. We have been going over our pictures and she was always smiling or teasing her cousins. Heather said she stood in her bedroom for an hour without moving because Nia told her there was a witch there and not to move. She was very convincing. She bet Steve that he couldn't eat a whole pizza and got a kiss as her prize for that one. We all love her very much and will miss her. Love and much strength to you both.
