There are no words to express how much I feel for all that you have gone through in the past two weeks. The loss of your mother and then Nick has just been earth shattering to all of us. I hope it helps you to know that all who knew them are hurting with you and are here for you in any way that you need us. Your family is in my prayers and I hope you will call if there is anything I can do for you. God bless you all.

Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I sure am going to miss seeing Nick as I travel by his house. Sometimes I would see him outside and I always blew the horn if I saw him or not. On occasion I would stop by just to say hi....how are you? Nick always made everyone laugh with his great personality. I have wonderful memories of our classes together in high school especially in Mr. McCain's class. I know Nick will keep them laughing in heaven. Rest in Peace my sweet friend. You will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to all the family. I love you all.
