I never imagined that I would have to write my condolences for Nick, so it is with a heavy heart that I do so now. I know there is little that I can say to console you - Melissa, Bill, Andrea, Dean, and Kris - for your loss is immeasurable. I pray that your memories of such wonderful young man will be a source of comfort at this difficult time.
