Nina was such a special person. She took me under her wing when I moved to London about 34 years ago. We worked together and became very good friends. Howard and her were like family to me. She will be missed very much. With heartful sympathy to all of you.

Mary and I send our heartfelt condolences to the
Hawthorne family,and our regrets that we will not be
present in person to pay tribute to the passing of a
long life,well and truly lived. We share in the grief of those who
remain.
Thinking back more than fifty years- warm memories of
gatherings at the home on Cove Road will always
stay with me: refreshing drinks in the kitchen after the
tiresome drive up from Detroit (at the first of the
five familial stops always to be made in those days);
romping about the lush lawn in the deep backyard-
sometimes in the company of a congenial feline;lively
conversations on the front porch, often well past sunset….
Mary also fondly recalls her first meeting with Nina,
who at that time(July,1995) thoughtfully gave us a tour
around London to view sites of significance, past
and present. Since then we always looked forward to a
visit with the Hawthornes as an integal part of our
annual pilgrimage to Stratford.
Even though yet another beloved human tie with the past
has been finally severed, we hope that the future will
hold more reunions with family in London,which always
bring to mind the Canadian side of my heritage.
Nancy and family…..so sorry to read of your mother’s passing. She was always very pleasant to talk to and always had a twinkle in her eye. My sincere condolences at this very difficult time.
To Howard & Family
We were so sorry to read of Nina’s death in
to-day’s paper and send our deepest sympathy

Howard, Nan and Cathy and family,
I am grieved by the passing of my favourite Aunt. She was always so good to me and so loving. Her smile and those bright blue eyes never faded even as the years accrued. Once when I was visiting for a week she reironed my dress before I wore it and the warmth of that dress thereafter always envelopes me again and again when I think of her. We had some wonderful times when she and Uncle Howard would come visit in Connecticut with Mum and Dad in the Fall. My heart goes out to you all.
