Angel
I know too well what it is like to lose a husband. What I don't know is watching a husband suffer as Nick did, my husband passed suddenly, as you know.
Although we were cheated because a life was taken much too soon, know that he will always be with you and your kids. His work was done here, now his job is to watch over you!
Thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers.

My heart goes out to my hard working relative and his family. Nick was a life long role model, a stellar example for diligence,industry, and devotion to family and an acumen for business that was inexplicably superlative.. He labored tirelessly for decades so that he and Angel could have nothing but the finest available of anything he desired, all his life. He never settled for second best. Yet now he is deprived,cheated,robbed of his well deserved retirement down the shore on his beachfront empire. A ruthless unconscionable malicious disease process has ravaged him unmercifully.and snuffed out his golden years irrevocably.Such a tragedy. Difficult for me to comprehend. It makes no sense to me. So unfair. Love Michael, your brother in law who remains very troubled,very sad, for your monumental unfair loss.

My Son-in Law, He was the best Husband to my Daughter,and the Greatest father to my Grandchildren. There's nothing that was to much for him when it came to family. Never to be forgotten. Love,Betty

Dear Angel, Christina, and Nick,
Although I don't know you, I have been thinking about all of you since the diagnosis. This is such a sad, sad time and so difficult to understand. I wish I could help you deal with such a huge loss and take away your pain, but losing a loved one is simply something we unfortunately must experience personally . Talk about it and be kind to one another--and don't expect to heal quickly. My prayers are with all of you. Peace, Lou Centrella

I first met Nick when he was around 10 years old, as he resided next to my grandparents house. I would always look forward to seeing him as we would jam together with our guitars. Years went by and then we met up again about 30 years ago when I started my Professional Photography business. I saw his name outside his building and I stopped in. The rest is history. I continued to use Nicks services up to the present as his work was like no others. Nick would always have time for me with any questions I would have about photography. He wasn't just a business partner, he was a friend who will be truly missed.
To Angel and your family my heart goes out to you.
