    NINA… Nina…wow… Didn’t know the last thing you would say to me was “Thank You” via text. The weekend of your birthday, you asked me to perform for you… not knowing that it would have been my last performance with/ for you…? although there are many that have known you for years, I’ve only have the opportunity of knowing for a short period of time, but I can truly say you were a true supporter… someone who has always recognized me for being a great entertainer…Nina, I thank you. ❤ I thank you for being YOU! Thank you for being such a great promoter for the LGBTQ community. May your legacy live through the LGBTQ Family forever!! S.I.P…❤

    I would like to say that it has been an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to have such a guardian angel as a friend and a mother figure. Nina took me in as one of her own and has given me so much guidance, advice and support over the years. 
    I will never forget how she taught me to move in silence, let my work speak for itself, and that everything wasn’t meant to be publicized. That alone changed my life, my success, and has molded me into the woman that I am known for today. Ma’ Thank you!

    No doubt, I will miss the many great parties, BBQs, events, and celebrations of all sorts we shared together as a Divine family. #D4L

    I love you Ma’ for the way you loved me, and leave me with so much to fondly remember. 
    Virginia has truly lost an angel in physical form but you’ll always be here in Spirit, as you are the heart and soul of VA.

    Those who knew Nina Divine (Blowe) were enriched by her honesty, kindness and generosity.  She was extremely hardworking, always full of love and energy, with a passion for entertainment. Nina was a wonderful mother and friend to anyone who crossed her path. We shall all miss her dearly… “Th Legendary Nina Divine”… y’all sit back and relax …The show has just begun!

    Grandma Nina…
    I don’t know we’re to start…
    it’s hard being able to accept the fact you are gone but I know you are going to be with the Lord. I just want to thank you for the opportunity you given me when I was young and looking for a way to learn how to become a entertainer but how can I be under GMA Nina lol. I remember the time when you just pulled me away from people to focus on dancing, opening up for you and just being able to meet so many people and travel because of you. I would not have been your grandson PRINCE ENT of you didn’t believe in me. I love you so much for given me love and encouragement. I know I may have been distance but we were always going to find a way to be close. I love you so much and I will always hold a place in my heat for you… the dinners, club nights, Talks, laughs will be the memorable moment I will share!

    My BFF and Sister. We were so close I miss you daily. I struggle with words but my heart hurts knowing I can hug u , hear your voice, listen to your words of wisdom to everyone. This is a hard pill to swallow. I can come to your house on weekends to vent nor eat ice cream with you so we can heal together. My last conversation I had with you the day before you gotten your wings ‘thanking me for getting your business straight to get you a step further in life and you was gonna buy me a house once you get released from the hospital’. I will take that to my grave just the thought. I love you so much and miss you so much it’s hurts. Continue to fly my angle no more pain. Kiss Dallas and one day we will meet again.
