June 8, 2010
Nancy and Family,
May the words of our LORD JESUS CHRIST comfort and encourage you
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25 - 26
Nancy, I know that you believe this and I bless you with the words of Philippians 4:6-7
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”
during this time and all the days of your life.
You are in my thoughts and prayers
Birgit and your German Family

Heaven was waiting...
Heaven had it written
And JESUS on His throne
Sweetly whispered out your name
It is time to call you home
All of heaven stood
As Jesus met you at the gate
Angels blew their trumpets
No longer was there WAIT
And LOVE in all His fullness
Was standing by your side
As He gently put your hand in His
Said ,Child, let us go inside
For heavens been preparing
A place made just for you
Your life is truly just begun
Though your life on earth is through
You are with me now forever
Since you have called me SAVIOR-friend
This is now where you will live
A life that has no end
On earth, there are those that miss you
Your face they long to see
One day I will wipe away their tears
For all eternity!
Dear Fuller Family,
God will definitely show you the way to smiling again. We know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with Nick, and all the love he gave you throughout the years. He is not gone. He will live in your hearts forever until you meet again.
And you should always know, wherever you may go, no matter where you are, we will never be far away.
We love you guys and are always here!
The entire Caro Family sends their deepest condolences.
All of our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dad, I have been hesitant to write a message because there is so much i wish i could have said to you before it was your time. I will miss you more than anything else in life. You were my father, my hero, my role model. I hope that one day I can be half the man that you were dad. If I grow up to be half of the man that you were, then I have done my job as you would have liked me to. I love you papa forever.

For many years I had the privilege of working with Nick in TRADOC. He was not only good at what he did, he was someone you wanted around because of who he was. Difficult issues or quick fixes, Nick was positive, smiling, and quick to act. I have never see him lose his composure or be less than who he was. It was a joy and a privilege to have worked and laughed with him and even now I feel the loss knowing that will not happen again. Please accept our sympathies on the loss of so fine a man.

With deepest sympathy to the family. I will keep the family in my prayers for years to come. He was a true father and friend to many people, family or not it never stopped him. The one thing I remember most is the many conversations on the porches. He had a way to make you feel like you are family. He welcomed many in to his house in to his open arms with a open heart. He was a very special father figure to many. Thanks.

Dear Dad, to me you were more than just a father-in-law. I loved you with all my heart and I am happy that I got to know you. You were loving and caring and always put a smile on my face. You made me feel like I belonged to this family and treated me like I was your own daughter, for that I want to thank you. I can not express how very much you mean to me and how much I miss you. On this earth your life may be over but for us you will continue living in our hearts. This is not a goodbye, just an I'll see you later in heaven. I am looking forward seeing you again with all our other loved ones who are already there celebrating with you. I love you Dad!
love, Pia
My heart goes out to you Joe and family and Phil and family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during these hard times. Your brother was a great person and I loved him very much. My deepest condolences, love Pia (Brian's wife)
