Mike,
It was nice seeing you last week at Woodlake. I will continue to pray for Nicole's soul.
Chase is very lucky to have such wonderful grandparents. I hope to see you at St. Gabriel's.

Mike and Darlene,
I just wanted to let you know that Mike and I were thinking about the both of you and Chase this past weekend. We celebrated not only our 1 year wedding anniversary but the anniversary of losing one of our friends. We know Nicole is in a better place than we could ever imagine and will always remember her smile and warm heart. We had a toast to Nicole and know we'll meet up with her one day! Whenever we think about her we smile and laugh about all the fun times we had together. Nicole will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
With all our love,
Mike and Mandy Herbert

Mike: I have thought and prayed often of you, Darlene and Chase throughout this year. I celebrate the day of my daughters holy matrimony and you the hurt and memory of the mass of the resurrection. I tried to retrieve the e-mail I wrote you through Legacy Guest Book after the funeral mass to no avail so I will paraphrase. I was so moved in your eulogy by your love and your concern with Nicole's life choices. I wanted to share with you that when you had Nicole baptized you placed her in the hands of God. Your talks with her encouraging her relationship with God was God at work. Her response stating she would think about her relationship with God was His spirit working in her. I am sure as she walked through the "valley of the shadow of death" she felt a hand that had never left hers since you placed her in God's hands. As you hold Chase's hand, he may pull away averted by attractions or may even stumble, and even try to pull his hand from yours, but you do not let go of his hand for you know what lies ahead; In the same way, God never let go of Nichole's hand. He led her right into his kingdom. I will never forget this day. May God Bless you.

I find it hard to believe a year has gone by since we got the terrible news. We did not want to be alone today so we organized a neighborhood cookout in your honor and we have 100% participation so we are very happy about that. We will visit you this morning and then we have the cookout this afternoon. Chase starts Kindergarten on Tuesday and it should be you putting him on the bus that day, not me.....He had his last day at Childtime on Friday and that was tough after 4 years, I know Chase will miss Childtime and mom and I will as well...Suzette said he can attend on school holidays so that will be nice, we do intend on sending him there next summer.......It was kind of ironic to me yesterday that Chase really learned how to ride the bike he got for Christmas after 8 months, I tried last Sunday but he kept falling off but yesterday he kept trying until he got it and now he can really ride the bike well (last year on this Saturday it was the worst day of his life and on this Saturday a year later he learned to ride his bike and he had a great time last night at the Woodlake concert and fireworks but at the end of the show he cut his toe and i got help from a Chesterfield County Cop for first aid (the whole time the cop and some lady bandaged him up I couldnt help thinking that last year the Chesterfield county police pulled him out of that car) Nicole,there is not much more to say anymore other than I love you, I wish we could have gotten along better in your later years but I'll always have the earlier years with alot of wonderful memories of you.......I reread the majority of the cards that mom and I recd last year and there was 1 card in particular that made me realize that through all the disageeing we did, you really did alot of the right things when push came to shove on important matters and that made me very happy...I hope that mom, Chase and I are reunited with you on the other side.............A big part of my heart is with you........Love always, Dad

11 months gone by now.....we celebrated your birthday last week and Maggie purchased a Star in your name and had it registered with the International Star Registry....She gave it to us and asked that we pass it on to Chase when he gets older....Last month we took Chase to Connecticut for vacation and he had his 1st plane trip, he really enjoyed going on the plane and he was treated wonderfully by the pilots and flight attendants.....Chase and I stayed at your Aunt Debbie and Uncle Butch's farm and mom stayed with your aunt Shirley.......Chase had an absolute great time, the boy was born to live on a farm I think...He got to have fun with 5 puppies, helping us make campfires, finding toads, frogs, bugs, etc and he even got to go for a ride when Debbie, Butch and Jason were bailing hay....we also had day trips to a lake, the beach, dinosaur park so he had a great vacation...........He is winding down at Childtime, only 4 weeks left there, and then on to Kindergarten...........We miss you and love you.....Dad

Mike and Dar, I havent been by the daycare in about 2 weeks, so I havent seen Chase. I am writing to you because at my new job I have met a girl named Ashley Gordon and we have gotten close. I was telling her about Nicole today because I am going to go see her(Nicole)on Friday, and I just got a phone call from her. She asked me if Nicoles last name was Barone. When I said yes, she blurted out, "Omg, She used to babysit me..she was actually there when one of my friends died when I was in 10th grade." Apparently her sister saw one of the cars that has Nicoles Name on it and asked her mother if that was who babysat them. I wanted to share this with you, because now Nicole has someone else saying prayers and remembering all the wonderful things about her. Her family is very much in shock and sad they did not know until today. I miss you guys, and will hopefully see you soon. I will be at the daycare on the first day of school, to see Chase, Hailey and Madelyn get on the bus.

10 months now passed....mom and I went to visit your gravesite Saturday Night (4th of July) It was a very difficult visit for your mom this time....A few weeks ago they established a flower garden in your honor at CHILDTIME and many of the staff and families brought flowers/plants to plant and Maggie brought a solar light and garden flag , the Foxes brought a beautiful statue of a seasaw with 2 little children on it and Suzette made a plaque that says " Ms Nicole Forever in our Hearts " The garden is beautiful and is a wonderful tribute to you........Chase is having a good summer, he is up and down as far as his behavior goes...he still expresses his sadness that you are not with us any longer....I told him that at the end of this month is your Birthday and we are going to one of your favorite places for dinner (Yamatos) and he wanted to know if you would be there.....we miss you dearly and hope that you are at peace....Love, Dad

Hi Mike & family,
I know your daughter is and was a very special person. Because her memory still lives on. I read your messages and it makes me wish I had known her. But I feel like I do by the message you leave. And I know she is happy that chase couldn't be in better hands. My son has been gone 16 yrs June 1st. I don't have any grandkids by him. I wish sometimes I did. But his memories still live deep in my thoughts and heart. And even in the toughess moments she will be by your side walking with you watching her little boy getting the love that you shared with her. She and Chase are very lucky to have you and your wife and family and friends. I only know you thru Al. But we share the loss of a loved one. Hope your days are getting a little easier. And in the rough moments just give chase a hug or put your arms around yourself like she is giving a hug to you.. Korny no it's a good feeling..
Just wanted to wish you all well. Gina Bragdon Ct

9 months now...mom, Chase and I went to Sandbridge for our usual May week and of course we missed you not being there this time around.... Chase loves the beach and it was his best week since your passing....this coming Friday night Suzette and some of the folks at Childtime are having a summer picnic in your honor and they have asked everyone to bring a plant or flower as they are establishing a memorial flower garden @ the school in your honor....We were very touched when we found out....Mom and I hit anniversary 37 the other night and were joking around that if we hit number 50 it would be the same year that Chase graduates high school.....hopefully we can make it....we love you and miss you....

8 months today and you continue to be in our thoughts daily....We registered Chase for Kindergarten last week and part of the deal was to get his shots for Kindergarten, he was not happy with you because apparently you forgot to bring him for his 4 yr old shots so he had to endure 5 shots at once...he did well in his kindergarten testing, now we just need to figure out how his behavior can improve at school (work in progress) This is a tough week memory wise as this was the week last year when you sat us down to tell us about the life changes you were going to make and then the next day you found out about you know who using your credit card w/o permission (it was an emotional week for all of us) wish we could sit and talk again this week....miss you dearly, Love Dad

Happy Easter Nicole.......Mom and i just got back from visiting you and much to our frustration a flag at your gravesite has been taken by someone....we have had various flags there such as one for Halloween , Christmas, St Patricks Day and those have gone unscathed but twice we put a flag their with your initial and both times someone has decided they need it more than you do....Its hard for us to understand why anyone would do that but I guess I should not be surprised anymore about anything.....May you rest in peace on this lovely easter sunday.....Love, dad

7 months today and Chase, Mom and I miss you dearly....Chase presses on but you can see the hurt in his eyes and actions....I hope and pray that I'll see the day when he is truly able to move on but i suspect that will not be until he is a bit older.....we will be bringing him to kindergarten registration next week......Suzette enlarged the last picture of the 4 of us together (the picnic @ Childtime) and we have it on the fireplace mantel....love you and miss you....Dad

6 Months now , 1/10 of Chases life...your little guy had his 5th birthday party on Sunday at Little gym and it was nice although it was bittersweet......on the day after his birthday we woke up to the 1st significant snow of his life around 6/7 inches and he played hard in it for 1 1/2 hours, making snow angels, sledding and having and all around great time......I've been thinking of you alot lately and I'd give anything for you to walk thru the front door even if it meant another argument for us because at least we could end the argument with a big hug and I sure would love to have that opportunity again.....miss you very much....love, Dad

To Mike and Darlene,
I know I said that I would come over and keep in touch but since Nicoles death I havent been the same. I had to leave the state for awhile because I couldnt bring myself to be here, everything reminds me of her. I know Chases birthday was a few days ago and Im sorry I missed it. Please tell him Happy Birthday for me and hopefully I can see him soon. I have moved back to Richmond but still havent had the strength or courage to go and visit Nicole. I loved her more than anybody knew. Everyday there is always something that makes me think of her and I smile and cry. I hope things are well for you guys and again I am sorry for not keeping in touch. I guess I have to learn how to deal with my grief because when I do finally see you I want it to be a happy visit and I dont wanna be the one to pull down the mood. You are still in my prayers and hope to see you soon.
To my Nicole,
I miss you so much and I still love you. And I promise I will visit as soon as I can. It seems like everytime I tell someone a funny story it always starts out, "this one time Nicole and I....." Those are the best stories and I love telling them. I can't believe its been almost 6 months now. I still have your number programed into my phone, I know its weird but it will always be there. I hope you, Danny, and Jeff watching over everyone. I talk to you everyday and I hope you can hear me. Even if you cant Im still gonna talk. So with that Im gonna go and I will talk to you soon. I love you girl and I always will!!!!!

5 months now and you are in our thoughts all the time....Chase misses you very much and continues to tell us that, as recent as last night he wanted me to tell him all about your life when he settled into bed.....in the last month I took him to see where he lived after he was born and told him that he would see where you lived for the 1st 5 years of your life as I am going to bring him to see our 1st house when we visit Connecticut in the summer........2 of your cousins are getting married this year, Scott in May and Amy in July.....Jamie Lee who you used to coach in Diving has gotten Chase involved in gymnastics and he is getting very good at it, he just finished his 1st semester in January and is in his 2nd semester now at "The Little Gym"..We bring him once a week and you passed on your athletic ability and courage to him because he is not afraid to try anything out there......before I touch base again your little man will be turning 5 on March 1st and his birthday party will be at "The little gym" his new favorite place.....He is going to the circus in a few weeks with Maggie, Summer and Tyler.... love you and miss you Dad

3 months now...........we are keeping Chase pretty busy, took him to the Cosby girls basketball game last night and he has 3 birthdays to go to today...all 3 are students of yours, Owen this morning and then Megan and Aidan are having a combined party this afternoon....tommorow Bennett Funeral Home is having a Christmas season tribute to those that passed away this year and had their funerals through them; Mom, Maggie, Chase and I are attending.........Last saturday a friend had the 5:00 mass @St Gabriels dedicated to you and the same is being done on Dec 14th and Dec 28th at the 10:30 masses...........We had thanksgiving at the Fergusons house and I guess Chase had a good time playing with Stephanie, Chris and chris's girlfriend because about an hour after dinner he proclaimed that "this was the best night ever".......Stephanie and Chris might have Christmas dinner with us as their mom and dad are leaving for vacation on Christmas day........you would be proud of Maggie if you knew what she accomplished at the recent Jason Mraz concerts in the area in Oct and Nov.....love you and miss you.........Dad

2 months gone by........Chase had a good time on halloween but it wasnt as much fun w/o you......A cool thing has happened on Sundays around here, I have watched every Giants game this year with the exception of 1 with Maggie...We have either watched the games here or at Beef O Bradys...The only 1 she missed was because she apparently thought seeing Jason Mraz in concert was more important......I am taking her to the Giants/Redskins game in Washington.............You were right about 1 thing we constantly argued about, back in July you told me your bills would be paid off by next April and I told you , you were crazy....well they will be paid off within the next 10 days.....smile/smile.......love you and miss you.....Dad

Mike and Darlene:
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Although we haven't seen one another in over 15 years. We remember when you came over to our house with Nicole. She wanted to make friends with our cat, who was a biter. She was bound and determined to pet him, which she did - with oven mitts on. She sounds like she grew up to be a lovely young woman. It must be so hard to lose your child, but though she is not here physically, she will live on in your hearts and in Chase.
God Bless you all. We are thinking about you.

Dear Mike and Darlene,
I am very saddened to hear of the loss of your daughter. Although I did not know her, the tributes written about her speak volumes. Chase is blessed to have Grandparents like you, and Nicole will live on through his eyes.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
You are in my heart and prayers.

Mike and Darlene: Watching the community gather, support and exude love throughout the Mass of the Resurrection moved us deeply and assured us of the Love of the Lord through the community of saints. Jan and I would like for you to know that shortly after your May talk with Nicole, we saw her and spoke with her at O'Charleys. She served our table. In our conversation she told us that she was getting her life together and priorities straight. Mike and Darlene, your prayers and influence upon her as loving parents did make a difference in her life. Although all of our hearts break with yours, you have a living piece of the best of Nicole....Chase. Keep her living memory through everyday of Chase's life as that is a gift to Nicole, you, Chase and all who love her.

I would like the send my prayers to the family and friends of Nicole. She was a beautiful person with a great attitude on life. She never let one day go by with out making sure she received the most from it. I know the Lord also knew this that is why he called her home to live her new life to the fullest in heaven the way she did on earth. She will be greatly missed.

September 17, 2008
Dear Darlene and Mike,
You continue to be in our prayers. As so many of the messages here have shared, there is no way to lessen your sorrow but please remember others care very much and wish you strength and comfort at this sad time. Neil and I have very fond memories of Nicole. After high school graduation in '98 and upon Nicole’s and Brandon’s return from “beach week” at Myrtle Beach, they told us they had run low on money early in the week. On their trip home, they only had enough money between the two of them to share a Happy Meal from McDonald’s! We will always remember and be so thankful to Nicole during the time Brandon was in the burn ward at MCV that December. She stayed right there by his side day after day and gave him encouragement and support. On my bedroom wall, I still have a hat that Nicole helped me design for a hat contest at my work one spring. She even taught me to use Ro-tel !! She was very gifted in so many ways and so many will miss her; however, those that knew and loved her will always be able to carry her wonderful memories with them. Nicole will be with you always, to love and cherish and hold in your heart…for even death itself cannot touch a love that endures forever. May the memory of Nicole and the special life you shared help ease the sadness of your loss. We ask God to keep you and Chase in His care, surround you with his kindness and bless you with His love.

Mike and Darlene,
What can we say...Nicole was an amazing person and a wonderful friend and mother. We will miss seeing her beautiful, contagious smile. We enjoyed all of the times we spent with her and are thankful for having had the chance to really get to know her and become her friend. Please send Chase our love and tell him that "MichaelFin" (my girlfriend-Mandy) plans on coming to see him and the both of you soon. We love you and are here for you always.

I am deeply sadden for your loss, but after reading many of the entries in the guest book this is not only a great tribute to Nicole but also a tribute to the both of you as parents. Her life was lived to the fullest and folks will be telling her life story for years to come. My prayers are with you.

Dear Darlene and Mike, We were shocked and saddened to hear of Nicole's passing. Aunt Glor called Mom, (aunt Pat), with the news. As a mother myself, I can only imagine the loss you are feeling, thank God Chase is ok. I haven't seen Nicole since she was a little girl, my goodness how time flies. It sounds like Nicole was a fine young lady and a wonderful Mom herself. You must be very proud. Just know that she is in heaven with your Mom, Nannie Devito, her cousin Steven, and so many other Aunts, Uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. As a family we have seen alot of loss and tragedy over the years. I can only hope all of our loved ones are up there in heaven having a great big party and watching over those of us left down here. You are and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Cousin Debbie & Kevin Crandall and family

She was such a joy to have around and I am thankful to have the experience of knowing her and her family. My sincerest condolences go out to Mike and Darlene and hope that Chase will give you a comforting connection to Nicole's spirit and energy. She was a beautiful child and it sounds like she grew into an amazing woman that touched the lives deeply of those she encountered. My love goes out to all those hurting from this tragic event.

First and foremost Chase is Ok. He just had some bumps and bruises but he is a tough little kid. He came home 2 days after it happened and he is starting to realize his mama is gone but he knows you look beautiful and he knows you are in a peaceful place. He even looked in your casket and brought joy to many by yelling out "shes cute" Maya and Hailey are also ok which we all are greatful for. Danny is with you and as his parents agree with us, that was for the best. At your viewing you looked absolutely beautiful, and it was incredible the wonderful things your friends and your children's parents had tosay about you. it made mom and I very proud. Nicole, the freakin line was out the door. It was non stop for 3 hours. Maggie aand Steph were unbelievable, they put together 5 collages of your pictures from your 28 years, and that brought joy to many at the Viewing and at the church. Mags and Steph along with Chase, Mom and I were the 1st to see you before anyone else and they sat with us in church (Not Chase he was in nursery with Tyler and Kelly, poor Kelly) and went tothe cemetery with us. It was like you had 2 sisters by your side every step of the way. They are great. Your funeral mass was beautiful. You never knew Fr. Pat but as always he said all the right things, comforting everyone especially your mom who was really going to struggle that day had it not been for Fr. Pat. He even mentioned Danny and Chase a few times during the service. At the cemetery 6 of your buddies, Chris, Ryan, Brandon V., Brandon W., Cain and Brad carried you to your final resting place. We are going to say goodbye to Danny later today. You and i certainly agreed to disagree on alot of things but the love was always there. We will make Chase's life as happy and fullfilling as possible. Rest in Peace Nicole. Love Dad...Ps forgot to say your clothes matched your casket, beautiful soft pink casket and you had on the pink shirt that you bought at Linda Q's garage sale.......BTW We already have plans to have a small party at your final resting place soon, you are in the same garden (The garden of the Last Supper with Jeff) We knew you would like that.......

Dear Mike and family. We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our memories are those of by gone days when you worked at Travelers and called on our agency. Everyone here shares in your loss as you shared in our loss so many years ago when we lost one of our co-workers.Even though we never knew Nichole, we know how your heart must be broken at such a great loss. We are praying for Chase and your wife as you go through these difficult days. May the wonderful memories you have bring you comfort.

Dear Darlene, Mike and Chase, I am so sorry for your loss. My son, Daniel, loved her with all his heart. I know she loved him as well, as she did all the children in her class. If only as adults we had the resilience of a child. He reminds me often that Miss Nicole is in Heaven and that she is okay. He beams with the most touching smile when speaking of her. How wonderful to leave your most prized possessions (your children) in the care of someone who gave so much love. Not once did I hesitate that he was not being cared for the way I myself would care for him. We were truly blessed to have had her in our lives, especially Daniel. She will be missed dearly. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I was so incredibly sorry to hear of Nicole’s death. I had the great privilege of coaching Nicole in Diving at Brandermill many years ago. It was an entertaining experience to say the least! A daily comedy show! She was one of the best reasons to show up for practice. I knew Nicole for her warm smile, infectious laugh, unending kindness, solid work ethic, competitive nature, intense focus, and of course, her amazing parents- Darlene and Mike.
I have no doubt that Chase will carry Nicole’s energy and exemplify the essence of her warm spirit. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with the Barone family, friends, and the Brandermill community.
September 11, 2008
Our family will miss Nicole's friendship. She was a beautiful person who had energy that could light a room. She will be missed in a way that words can not describe. We hope that Chase will keep his heart filled with her memory, she loved him dearly. With great sadness, Todd, Nancy and Aiden Wirt

To Chase and the Barone Family: Nicole was my daughter's teacher at Childtime. The moment that I met Nicole, I knew she was a great teacher. My daughter loved her so much. She loved all of the art projects that Nicole did with her class and she always loved when Nicole told them during lunch time "Eat eat stinky feet!" She will be greatly missed by many. I only wish I'd had the opportunity to get to know her even better. My heart goes out to your family during this very sad time. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Barone and Chase, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nicole was our daughter Mikayla's former teacher at Childtime. She was fun, loving, and caring. Most importantly, she was fair in dealing with Mikayla. She was the quintessential Preschool teacher. Nicole will be deeply missed. We pray that the Lord of all comfort will comfort and heal your hearts. We pray that Chase will forever have fond memories of his mom. May God bless you and keep you in his care. Sincerely, Lewis, Dawn, and Mikayla Green

My Thoughts and prayers are with the Barone and Cain families. I met Nicole through Danny and I knew immediately they were a good match. I spent time with both of them and it was always an evening to remember, full of laughs-good times! I will miss Nicole's smiling face and the conversations we had from one mother to another about our boys. Nicole will truly be missed!

Dear Mike, Darlene and Chase,
I don't know if you will remember me, but I met Mike about 12 years ago. My dad was from Lake Amston, CT. and lived in Colchester, CT. You guys knew his best man, Charley Mckay. (Family Pizza).
I was heartbroken when I heard the news. I am praying for your family and Nicole's soul. I did not have the pleasure of knowing her, but reading all the heart-felt comments in the guestbook tells me what a wonderful, kind and caring person she was.
My family and I moved to Woodlake about a year ago and will be joining Saint Gabriel's Catholic Church. I will see you both at the funeral mass tomorrow. God will guide you through this most difficult time.
God bless you. Your family will remain in our prayers.

Shane Payne and his family have Nicole and her family in their prayers and thoughts.

Nicole was my daughter Emma's first preschool teacher 3 years ago and she loved her "Miss Nicole." We have always loved Nicole's spirit, her energy, and the love she had for life. We will miss seeing her every day. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chase and the rest of Nicole's family as they say goodbye. She was definitely taken away from all of us too soon. Love, The Meadows Family (David, Jennifer, Will, and Emma)

I remember Nicole from YEARS (15+) ago. My sister (Frances Childress) and I took her with our gang to Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Nicole had more energy and could do more acrobatic maneuvers than anyone I have ever met up with. She was loads of fun and never stopped. I have good memories of her and am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes and prayers.

Nicole loved my daughter, Emma as if she was her own. Emma has been out of Child Time for over a year and yet she still talks about Ms Nicole. She was the perfect teacher for Emma's first "school" experience and they became good friends. She will be missed by all that she touched in this lifetime. Our family loves you, Emma loves you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I myself just lost my son in a tragic accident and I must say it's the hardest thing in the world to face. The only thing that keeps me going is the love of family and friends . Just remeber she's in a better place now and you'll see her again one day. That also helps !
God Bless you and your family.

My heart goes out to you in this time of great sorrow. You are in my prayers. I didn't know Nicole but she was a friend and co-worker of my son David who worked with her at Bottoms Up Pizza. I pray for God to give you strength to get through each day and to put his arms around give you the courage to move forward. I know David will miss her very much. May God keep you in his care.
