Nikki you will be missed,your smile even your little remarks that I miss hearing ,I liked getting you started up because you remind me of myself talking mess..people didn't understand you sometimes but I did it's good to be different...God created all of us to do and be our own...love you baby girl here's a little something for you baby
I must go now.The time is right! I must say goodbye to the thought filled nights.I've lived my life and done my best.I know Jesus is Lord.I've passed God's test. An example I've tried to be,so I've taken that step beyond and set my spirit free.I didn't want to go at first: I fought with all my might.But God said "Come on home"I was welcome by his light...Be bless baby girl
love you auntie Cynt

Gone but never forgotten. Nikki I will always cherish the memories we shared. You were like my own daughter; I was there the night you were born and was there throughout your entire life. Although the days and nights seem so long now, I must remember that Joy will come in the morning and that the beautiful flower that God choose on March 5 was in his will and we must not question him. I will always be here for your Mom (my sister) and your daughter A'Lacia. I know that Mom, Dad and Uncle Sonny is taking good care of you. I Love You and Miss You. Aunt Edith

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
