Nick, Andrea, Michael, David, Maria, & Regina, I just learned about your father's passing when I was away on vacation.

Even as the "baby" I remember how fun and loving Uncle Nick was! Whether it was trips to the beach house, rides in the Caddy or when he had my then "soon to be husband" over the house just to make sure he was a good guy. I will miss you and pray that your children and siblings will get through this tough time. Love Christina
