Nadia was a true gift in my life. I admired her passion and zest for life but especially her love for her family! She’s definitely gone too soon and it’s a true shame for all the people that never knew her but more for all of us that did! I’ll always treasure our friendship and the time we shared. I pray for the best for her family and pray for their strength to endure her loss. God will provide! May God bless her daughter Sophia in every way🙏
Oh, Nat Dawg, where do I begin? You were over our house a lot in Port Neches growing up. You had an awesome, hysterically funny personality. You were always so outgoing, sweet &.you never met a stranger! You are reunited with my Jennifer in Heaven. Love you, rest in peace, Da Nanny💔💕🙏😇
Nadia was one in a million. She was kind, loving, funny, outgoing, and had a heart too big for this world. May she rest in love and peace.
May all of you find peace, strength, and support in each other during this difficult time.
The world feels dimmer without the vibrant light of Nadia’s personality. Her beauty, joy, and zest for life will be dearly missed. May the cherished moments we’ve shared serve as a tribute to the remarkable person she was, bringing solace to her daughter and family during this painful time. You left the world too soon!

Sweet, kind, funny, beautiful Nadia, I loved the time we worked together, the first day I met you, you had me “belly” laughing. You will be greatly missed, you are so loved by everyone. Prayers for your
daughter Sophia and your entire family and all the people who truly loved you. You, Nadia, will never be forgotten.
Dearest Nadia,
Words will never express how much I loved and adored you. Your beauty captured my eyes, your intelligence captured my mind, and your love captured my heart. Our paths crossing, without a doubt, was by design. Throughout all the laughter, shared love, and at times tears, I was so proud to have you in my life. You will always be “ my girl”. God willing, I will see you again. Maybe a little taller and have better teeth! LOL! I love you Nadia.
Nadia, it still doesn’t seem real that you are gone my sweet friend. A true beauty inside and out. I am going to miss hearing your voice, your laugh, all your stories, but most of all… that delicious Lebanese cuisine you were always cooking up! You were truly one of a kind and would do anything for anyone. Thank you for loving my girl like one of your own all these years. She loved you so much! Rest easy friend, until we meet again. My prayers are with all of the family.
