Dear Micki,

I am so sorry to hear about Nickie! I remember how much he would always make me laugh and the family still laughs about that day that we were over your house and he was trying to get a rise out of me and I ended up calling him a "jerk." Til this day we still talk about it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and he will be sadly missed! Miki McVey-True
