ALINA NESTOR – Lawyer

In Memoriam

Alina Nestor will be forever remembered by all of us as the most kind person which gave everything to everybody and never expected something in return. A beautiful person with the biggest heart you will ever see, but also one of the most unlucky persons that we ever seen.
