I’m so upset to hear about Nita. I just loved her so much. I just learned of her passing today and am so upset to miss her funeral. I have such fond memories of her and her great voice. Much love to all the family and me and my family are deeply sorry for your loss of an amazingly funny woman.
I am sorry to hear this. Although I haven’t seen Nita in many years, I will never forget her humor and zest for life. I have great memories of our family get togethers at her house as a young kid. Condolences to her family.
