Dear Nikki and Family, my deepest sympathies are with you during this very difficult time. Believe me, I know how hard it is to lose someone you loved for so long when they are sick. It's not easy. If there is anything my family and I can do to make this any easier please let us know. Nikki I love you a lot!!! You're not just another staff person who works with us, you're like a member of our family. I heard such great stories of your mom, i wish i had gotten the chance to meet her in person. She sounded like a terrific lady. If you ever need a friend to lean on, you can always count on me to be there. You're mom is in my prayers. She will be missed a great deal.

Kiki and I were very good friends a long time ago. We met in 1969 on Cape Cod, and were housemates for 2 summers. We remained friends back in Boston, and kept in touch until our lives took us in different directions.

Kiki was a happy, bubbly person. She was always up for fun and we had lots of it. Hyannis summers in the early seventies was the beach all day and going out at night! Her levelheadedness kept me out of a lot of trouble. Also, she taught me how to make Greek shish kabob and great Greek salad dressing!

I have fond remembrances of a good and loyal friend. I still remember her story about being mistaken for a student in the grammar school where she was teaching music. Someone asked her if she had a pass to be out of her classroom and she answered in her little voice, "But, I'm a teeeacher."

My deepest sympathies go out to Paul and Nicole at this sad time.
