Message: Our sincere ccondolences to Ninies family and loved ones. It was always special to see her and her sisters at many family events. I remember her causing us worry once. It was back in March 1941, the year of the terrible blizzard which killed so many people. She came to visit us when we lived on Grandma and Grandpa Jacob Ramseys old farm-stead. We took her home but she had to walk a milee or two because of blocked roads. A little later the blizzard struck suddenly with a vengeance. We worried about Ninies safety but thankfully she had made it home. God's Angels were watching over her, as they always do and now she is truly safely home again. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence forth, yes says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labor...Rev.14:13"

Message: We express our condolences to Ninie's family at her loss. When we attened brother Gordon's funeral she was in front of me at the lunch line. I said "I'm following you Ninie" she replied "That's the first time I've been followed by a man in a long time." We both laughed. We were so pleased that she attended our daughter, Dianne's funeral in July. Our hearts go out to you for your loss.

Message: Chuck and I are so sorry to hear of the death of Ninie. We have many good momories. Chucks remembers Ninie making him a hamberger to go when she work at the station. That she did. He started eating it as they were on their way fishing. He couldn't bite into it. She had wrapped it in saran wrap. Oh how we laughed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family Chuck & Karen
