Dear Tim, Judi and Katie - I was so terribly saddened when Nadine left me this unbelievable news a day after Nikki's accident. There is nothing to compare to this pain. Anyone who has lost a loved one to a sudden accident realizes that words are useless; prayers are appreciated; and your world will never be quite the same. Yes, you go on (although there are many times you aren't sure) and yes, life can be good again - the love you feel for her and that she shared lives on through all she has touched. My deepest, most heartfelt condolences.

My dear friend Jude, Tim, Katie and Michael. There are no words in our verbal language to fully express my grief for you in the loss of Nikki. I pray that God's comfort wraps you in love and peace to help you move through such an incredibly difficult time. Each of us that knew Nikki were blessed by her presence in our lives. With love and blessings,

You are not alone as your journey begins. There are many that walk this path. Why our loved ones are selected, we may never know, and when we do find out the answers to our question, it will be that loved one that tells us. Nikki's beauty, in both heart and soul, will be everlasting

Dear Dr. Baird and Family,
We were out of town at the time of Nikki's incident. Although I didn't know her, I can't imagine the loss of a child at any stage of life. Please try not to ask yourselves why, but let God tell you when he's ready and let Him carry you through this time of pain and grief. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely~ the Nyland family

I am so deeply saddened by the early death of your dear Nikki. Having been your patient, Tim, for so many years, your Nikki stories made us laugh and shake our heads. Your love was apparent. Now that Nikki is gone from our Earth, I pray that you and Judi allow others to help you and support you in all of the ways that you supported us, your patients and friends. You've brought so much life and beautiful energy to your patients and given so many the gift of birth...I know this must be unimaginable.
May your God keep you in the palm of his hand.

Dear Dr. Baird and Family,
Words can not even express what you must be going through, my heart aches for your entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most unbearable time. May you find peace and comfort in the hours, days and months ahead with your eternal memories. A little poem I found when I lost my dear sister Yvonne.
God Bless,


In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasure I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasure I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dearest Judi and family, This is the most tragic and sad news for everyone. What a loss of a beautiful, vibrant, kind,and wonderful young woman. This a part of God's plan we all don't anticipate and never want it to touch our family and the lives of others. Her spirit will be with us forever. How could it not with her zest for life just like her mother. This is such a difficult time that no words can truly express your loss. I am so very sorry. I will think of you and your dear family often and prayer for all of you and Nikki . Remember you have my cell #. Please call when you feel like sharing. I will always be there for you.. The oddest thing about this is I don't read the paper anymore and never the obits.. Now why did I do it yesterday? Life always is sending us little messages unknowingly. Much love to you all.
