June 19, 1996: Nina's Father's Funeral

Stayed at Kimberly & Beverly Richardson's house in Northville last night.    Kimberly, Beverly, Kevin, and I went to the funeral for Nina's father. He had passed away on June 19th in a freak accident.  Her father left for work in pouring down rain and cut across a church parking lot and his car ended up in pond.  He passed away, which was very hard on Nina.  She was very close to her father.    

There were alot of people at the funeral.    There were about 80 cars in the procession to Oakland Cemetery. I had never seen anything like it in my life.    Nina's friends, Kiersten, Trisha, and Tom were at the funeral.     After the burial, we went to Nina's house for a meal.   We had to take off our shoes in order to go in the house.  That was a tradition in India.    I was glad we were able to be with Nina at this difficult time.
