Nadine - You will be missed

 

Our family had the privilege of meeting Nadine Loane.  We did not know her well, but her passion for life left a lasting impression on our family. If you do not know her, she was the program coordinator of the Easton's Weed and Seed program. She lived with her family in the West Ward and believed her community had a bright future. We just needed to believe a little harder and lend a hand to the less fortunate. She saw the potential of Easton's West Ward, not it's faults. 

Jan meet her at several Weed and Seed meetings. She thought her passion and drive was of the one reasons the program was successful. I had the chance to chat with Nadine at the Common Union - Community Forum on: Reducing Gangs and Violence program held at Easton Middle School.  She was in a classroom with her service dog  at her side, educating people on the Weed and Seed program.  I was very impressed by her passion for community service and the conviction of her beliefs.

The West Ward community has lost a great leader.  I hope we can find the strength, wisdom, faith and courage to finish her mission on earth.  Nadine - you will be missed!

In her honor, get involved. One person can make a difference!
