Nena, is survived by her husband and 3 sons and a daughter. She was one of my mother's closest and dearest friends. Before moving out of the old neighborhood we lived 3 houses down from one another. Her children and my siblings and I all grew up together.
Once my mother was unable to go to church anymore Nena, and other lady's from the church would come every Sunday and pray with my mom. My mom looked forward to Sundays and I will always be grateful to Nena for making that possible.

I drove by the hospital and kept going, crossed the intersection and made myself turn around.
I drove to the hospital and parked my car. I sat in the parking lot what seemed like hours but in fact were only a few minutes. I could not bring myself to get out of the car and walk into the hospital. I look back now and how I wish I had forced myself out of the car. I should have gone in and hugged you and told you that I loved you and thanked you for the lifetime friendship you all shared. I rationalized it in my head by saying I'd go by your house when you left the hospital. Not wanting to accept what was there in front of me. I know in my heart you understand that it's not that I did not care but that her death was too recent and I couldn't deal with the pain.
