December 30, 2025 at 7:21 pmI am sorry to hear this news. Nu was a friend. We had know each other nearly 35 year. I was a kid working at Value Citu when I met Nu. She would come in to pick up men’s suits to alter the for customers. I immediately began taking my clothes to her. She was so talented! I followed to every place she worked to have my clothes taliored, even to her home before she opened her shop. What an amazing person. She will be missed dearly.
