Deeply saddened to hear about Nessa’s passing. She was one of the nicest people I have met. Besides being a loyal customer for many years, she always texted me on Mother’s Day and other holidays. She was always very thoughtful and I enjoyed the many conversations that we had and learning about her family and experiences. She also had great restaurant recommendations 🙂 She will be greatly missed! My condolences to her family.

Hi Everyone,

My warmest memories of Nessa include our family gatherings at grandma’s in Whiting. Nessa’s mom, my Aunt Lilly baked the best chocolate chip cookies for me.
Nessa’s brother Malcolm and I plus all of our many cousins played hide a seek and generally needed the
adults to holler at us to be quiet while they played pinochle.

When I spent the weekend at Nessa’s house at 518 North
Trimble (yes my memory still functions) mostly I played with Malcolm and Nessa snitched on us when we found the boxes of Demets candy that Aunt Lilly always kept hidden.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the opportunity to get to know you and your families, which I truly regret.

Beverly and I wish you all , the very best of everything in life that’s good.

I remember Nessa from the very first time I met her. She was an adorable teenager with a long ponytail. I was Bernie's little cousin, and he brought Nessa, his girlfriend, to our seder to meet the family. Many years later, Nessa, Bernie's wife, who'd become my cousin too, passed along to me "hand-me-downs" for my baby. The best! Brand new with price tags still on! She and Bernie were fun to hang around with. I will always remember her as warm, generous, and sincere.

I adored Nessa from the moment I met her. She was young,stylish, & beautiful!
I loved that she loved dogs as much as me.
I'm glad I was able to talk to her daily once my mom passed. It was wonderful to catch up with her. She will be missed.❤️
