About the list

Nina left behind a LIST – the file titled simply “to do before I die.” We aren’t exactly sure when she started it, but we do know that she had been adding to it and crossing things off for a number of years. When she died, NINA’S LIST had grown to 366 items. We were stunned to discover that she had already accomplished and crossed off about 100 of them – a mix of the minuscule, the mundane, and the momentous.

We have created this website, NINA’S LIST, in the hope of finding joy amid darkness, to help in healing, and most importantly, to ensure that NINA IS NEVER FORGOTTEN and that HER SPIRIT LIVES ON. In her memory, we want to SHARE WITH YOU her dreams of what’s possible and inspire you to continue what she started with your own hopes and dreams.
