I'm glad I got to know Nicholas for a short while as his caregiver. We shared some good times together. My fondest memory with Nicholas was the two of us watching a beautiful cardinal at the bird feeder from the kitchen window. Both of us were reveling in a moment in time. He was a sweet and determined gentleman. May his spirit be in peace and his life here on earth remind us to be present in the moment. I send my deepest sympathy to Nellie, Helen, Hannah and Frank. God Bless, Sue
