To lose one so young brings sadness to the entire family. Take a moment today to remember Nickie’s laugh, her compassion, and her love for friends and family. Our thoughts, prayers, and love go out to those closest to Nickie.

So much of my childhood you were there from rolling down the hill at grandma’s and dons. Helping me to learn to ride a bike with no hands, around the trailer park. Getting my first experience babysitting the twins. I’ve always loved babies after that. RIP my dear cousin. love and miss you

It has been 9 months now and it seems to be even hard than it was the day when she left me all I seem to do is think about her and cry I don’t understand on how to get over it people say it gets easier with time how I don’t see it I see all it does is gets harder with time it could be the fact that she passed away on my birthday which makes it worse for me.
