I had the pleasure of working with Nick during his last few months at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis. And though I had not physically seen him several years I still considered him a true friend. He will be missed by many. You will be in our prayers.

Erin I sit here remembering your and Nick's wedding at St. Louis Cathedral a few years ago and while none of could have known the future then--what I celebrate now is the time you had to love each other so passionately and with such grace! I celebrate that you two had in a few short years a love many never experience in a lifetime! Know that I hold you and Nick in my prayers even as God holds you both together in his hand--and in that sense you will always be together! May you be blessed and one day we will get together and talk but until then know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Nick's family! Fr. Ken, Hattiesburg, MS
