Nicole,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you endure this great loss. I wish I could have told your mother what a wonderful daughter she has raised -- however, I'm sure she knew it. I know it's hard for you to ask for help or reach out for comfort, but this is the time to do so.

I wrote you a letter at the beginging of this journey to tell you my feelings. I wish that I could tell you again how much your friendship meant to me. I know that we'll see each other again, and I will always remember the little life lessons that you taught me. Your love for your family was always an inspiration to me. However now I have seen the strength of that love and the commitment you made to it, you were and always will be awesome. Nicole is the greatest legacy anyone could ever have. She is by far one of the kindest and selfless people that I have ever had the privilage to know. You did an amazing job Carol. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
Love, Cheryl
