Yvonne,
I had no idea that Nick died. It has been far too long to even say I am sorry. But nevertheless, I am. Last time I saw him was when we moved from Miller St. I was in 7th grade.
Either way, I hope you're doing well. You have my most sincere condolences.
With love, Steve Lunden

Almost 10 years have past and I still often wonder, is this real?
January 24, 2005
I think of you often.
July 19, 2004
Nicki after all this time you remain deep in my heart. sometimes i imagine you walking up to me like nothing has changed in these past years.. how nice that would be for us all. your daughter is beautiful by the way.. but im sure that's something you already know. take care up there.
October 14, 2003
A little late - but that doesn't mean I wasn't thinking of you.
October 13, 2003
you are in our hearts. always.
August 18, 2003
I can't belive it's almost been 3 years. I always wonder what life would have had in store for you, had you still been around.
Your missing out on so much, but at the same time, I know you aren't. I know your still here, I see you, I feel you. I'm still thinking of you...

i have been thinking about you lately..well, more than normal anyway :) i went through my nick box and just cant believe, even after all of this time that you are gone. i still have that rose you gave me. it is all dried up perfectly, and a few select emails with those smiley faces that always remind me of you :0) you are and always be in my heart. i know that you're smiling from up above, watching over us all, and if you're watching me now, big hugs and a wink;). to molly and nicks family: i hope that you are doing well. i wish you the best always.
October 14, 2002
Wow, I can't believe that 2 years have passed already. I think about you often, and hope somewhere up there, you are looking down on us, still.

I am just writing you to let you know that I have kept up my promises to you about Molly and Madelaine. They are doing so well, but of course they miss you a lot. I watch Madelaine dance, talk, crawl, laugh and do so much more. She reminds me of you, always smiling and laughing. You are always in my prayers and in my heart. We love you and miss you dearly.

Nick I Miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, almost a year. Can I really explain the meaning of "time flies" I never thought it would this fast, yet it still seems like only yesterday. I miss you no less then when I got the 6:15am phone call October 13, 2000. The worst call of my life, a moment I will never ever forget. The call that suffocated me with anger and sadness, and left me wondering, so many questions.
I have insomnia. I was searching for jobs online and I came upon this....it hit me like a ton of bricks, so I come here, but I will go to bed down.

July 9, 2001
Nick. These past few days I have thought about you a lot. Not that a day goes by without you, but for some reason, these past few days, have been hard.
Most days I am a pro at hiding my feelings and moving on about my business. I don't know why I can't right now.
Maybe it has to do with another holiday passing without you. Another first without you there.
I wish you were able to see the fireworks and be there to enjoy them. Hmm, I wonder what they look like from above. Maybe just as pretty, or prettier. But it still is not the same.
I miss you honey, I really do. I hope that you are happy for me, and will stay with me forever. I feel you, I hope it's reality, not a need. She needs me now. I love you!

Nick, we picked out your plot marker Monday. It was sad, but I am glad we got it over with, and you will now have it. It has been looming over my head for a while now, you deserve to have one there.
Now all that come visit, and pass by, will be visually reminded of the special person who not only lays beneath their feet, above their head, but most important, is in our hearts.

hey nick, it's been a while since i've written. so much has happened. i got in a pretty bad car accident, but i was fine, and i didn't understand why. my car was totaled and i didn't even have a scratch on me. it just doesn't make sense. i still don't understand why you of all people had to go. my life just seems to be changing everyday, but the one thing that doesn't change is that, a can't go through a day without thinking about you. i still wish this hadn't happened, it wasn't fair. i'll write again soon. love you! ~ENK~

I know that you know that I have never stopped thinking of you. I still miss and love you, and always will. I know I don't have to write here to remember you, but it's nice to put words in writing. Lot's have things have happened, babies born, people passed on. I am so much more aware now, and the question "why?" fills my head most days. I guess I am babbling now, but I am still looking for answers. Until then.....I LOVE YOU!

Hey Nick!
Yesterday I went to my school's basketball game and one of the players on the opposing team really reminded me of you - with his hair and smile and all. Today is such a sunny day outside. This year has been such a depressing year, with leaving home and then having you leave and such. Looking at some of the graphing calculators reminds me of you and mentoring and on the bus with your headphones - I still hate Calculus just as much as I did last year. I guess it feels good right now to be doing menial things and to let all the hurt be drowned away. Not a week goes by when I don't think about you and I doubt that there will be one, not for a loong long time, but no matter what, you are always in our hearts.
Love you!
Susan

Hey Nick,
This has been such a bad year! Every day I think about what will be waiting in the future. I pray that something good will come about, but ever day it seem's like I get more bad new's. I'm starting to wish that I was were you are. That may sound bad, but I know that you are very happy. And I know that things are so much earier up there. Then I think about how much it hurt to see all your friends and family with their tears. That's when I tell myself that I have to keep going. It is so hard right now. When I think of all you went through in your life, I have to tell myself that mine does not even come close. Your sister is so strong. When she came to my school and spoke to us, she made me see how hard life can be. I know that I don't have any drug problems or things like that, but I am striving to get throught the little things. I have been so sick and there have been many death's in the family. Now I have to pray that my Grandfather will make it out of the hospital. I don't know how you could ever do it...

Nick-
Susie told me about this page a long time ago, but I knew it would hurt to look at it. Yesterday I went to show someone a picture of my nephews and a picture of you and Patrick (when we were mentoring at Talmadge) was in the second page of my photo album. I thought about it all night and decided that this was something I was ready to do, so here I am. I know that you are in a better place, but I guess I’m selfish because I’d rather you be here with us. I miss you and your awful jokes and your graphing calculator(Tickle Me Elmo!). Me and Susie talk about you all the time and it helps, but it’s not the same. You’re a great person and a wonderful friend and I’ll forever remember all of the silly times. Thanks for every one of them. Love ya.

Nick,
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you.I still pray that one day I will wake up and this will have all been a nightmare.I know that you're probably in a lot happier place now, but it isn't the same here without you.We all miss u so much. Everytime I go to work it's as if I'm still waiting for you to walk through the doors with your Friendly's uniform on and that smile upon your face. It's hard for me to accept the fact that your gone when I know your still here in my heart.When I look up at the sky I know your up there watching over us like the angel that you are. I miss u so much and I want you to know that you will never be forgotten in my heart.
~love~always & 4-ever,

Watching Over Me
I hear your voice in every whisper of the wind
I remember your laugh at every riverbend
You're with me when I'm fast asleep
You know every secret I keep
You're here when I'm awake
You're there when I make a mistake
You're here when I begin to hate
But, you help me clean that slate
You're the guardian who stands knoble on my shoulder
You wrap me in your love when the world gets colder
And as tears fall from the sky
I try to be strong and not cry
So, I look up at the clouds and I see your smile
Then I know I can go on that extra mile.
I Love You, Baby...You Are My Angel

Flying through the clouds I looked around and wondered if you were near. I didn't see you, but I felt you.
Being with our friends this week brought back pictures and feelings from that month, the month that makes me wonder, was it real? The smell of the flowers conjured memories of the wake. A time I wish to forget.
I constantly look for you in her. Sometimes she looks like her own person, and other times, it's like I'm looking at you.
Until I see you again my questions will not be answered, but because I have faith, I know you are happy, and that you did not suffer.
I love you forever and always.

I think about you all the time, and I often ask myself should i still be grieving? The answer is never clear.I have so many questions, that will forever remain unanswered.It's okay though cause when I look at your picture I remember your smile, I remember how much taller you were than me!!lol. It'll be okay though, I know it will.I miss you so much and it still hurts really bad but I LOVE YOU and i will never forget you...
Love Always,

well it's been a while now and i havent written in here but i read it from time to time..and i dunno all it does is just bring back memories.I miss seeing you in the halls.and reading this makes me think of all that ..and the time we went to the waterfront on that fieldtrip and u hung out with me.Now none of that was worth nething at the time because i didnt know it shouldve been, but thinking about it now i am so glad that we did spend that time together because i got to know u alot better.and u tried to keep the wind from gettin to me cause i was the only dumb one without a coat.I was just looking back at those times while i was reading this and now they are just precious memories.but i wish that you were here so i could have alot more to think about.We miss you Nick and i know u are shining down on everyone down here. Love ya

As I sit here holding her, it's hard to imagine that one year ago today, we found out she would be joining us. Even hardner to imagine what the next year would bring. Something so great and something so awful in such a short time.
I'm trying to my hardest, I'm doing what I hope you'd want. I'll keep asking you until you do. I love you very much. I'm sorry I haven't been to visit you in a while. It used to be so easy, now it's just too hard. I promise I'll come soon. But I know I don't have to go there to be with you, and I know you know that. I love you very much Nick, I always did, and I always will.

Nick,
I can't say I knew that well, but every time my best friend and I went into Friendly's, you were our waiter. You were so nice and polite, and you would always stand and talk to us. I remember when I had my car accident and I was on crutches. When you saw me, you asked if I was okay. I didn't know you that well, but I could tell that was the kind of person you were, charming and sweet. My friend called me that friday afternoon and said, "Nick from Friendly's died this morning." I was in total shock. And a few month's later, my friend, Jason Rivers (who also has a page on here) died too. It has taken me a long time to sign this guest book, but I am glad I did. You were a nice person.
to Molly and Madelaine- I am very sorry wbout what happened to Nick. He will always be in your heart.

Nick,
We look up at the sky
and our eyes begin to weap and cry
and all of our minds
begin to wonder why
you left us so young
Why didn't you stay here?
but maybe thats where you belong....
cause you are an angel
and god wanted you to go to heaven
you were a sweet heart
who cheered us up
when we were down
you turned around
our sad frowns
to make us cheer
up when when no one
else was around
No matter where you go
No matter where you will be
You will always be in our heart's for eternity.
We miss you Nick.

i love you so much nick..i hope that youre doing well up there...making everyone smile like you always do

How is the New Year going? I hope it is better up there than it is down here. I still wake up everyday to the picture i have of you on my dresser, and the first thing i do is say hi. Can you hear me? We all miss you so much. I wish there was more that could have been done. I still hear the song "arms wide open" and your face and big smile pop up in my head. I know that there are no words that will bring you back, but there are the words that remind me of you. Sometimes i talk to your friends and we laugh about things that have happened in the past. Sometimes i feel like you are there laughing with us.
Well i'll talk to you soon.

Today I went to your school and I was fixed on the photos of you in the lunch room and in the class rooms all the teachers had such great things to say about you.Nick why you?That is the question I ask everyday.It hurts it really hurts.I was in your enviroment and I was confused really confused I was like WOW!!!this is Nick's enviroment.The whole day I was dazed and confused.Here's an idea for your graduation they can have a ceremony at your resting spot.I think it would be sweet because you deserve it you made it this far you should have a cap&gown placed on yuor spot and your whole class should be there.With you.Well Nick always remember I will always and forever love you like a brother.

We will never forget you and I know you are smiling down on all of us right now..........When the wrestlers were all in the locker room/dressing room, you could hear them all saying, "We did this for you Nick!" I will leave you with this, Peace to you and Thanks!

Your benefit went great Nick. I wish that we didn't have to do it...but Ashley did a great job. All the people that turned out, it was amazing. It all fell together. And now you will have nothing but the best, like you deserve. So many friends, such a great future, such promise, what a personality....so little time. We all still love and miss you Nick. For eternity...so many meanings, all so sad.

Who ever thought this year would be the way that it is...hipefully 2001 will bring more happy memories then sad. I miss you very much Nick. I talk about you to Madelaine all the time.

Nick theres not a day that goes by that I dont think of you. I hate the fact that I never let you know how much your friendship truely meant to me. Today I was looking through Matt's and my photo album and I caught myself crying again. So many unanswered questions. Why? Why you? Why someone with such a great future ahead of him? I don't think I'll ever know the answers to my questions. I do know this though. You made a mark in so many peoples lives at such a young age like no other person ever could. I promise you that your name will be carried on forever!!
Every time I put in DJ skribbles cd it's a reminder of you. You know that song where the verse goes " the sun is shining the weather is sweet here, makes you wanna move your dancing feet now?" Well i pictuire you up in heaven dancing up a storm (like usual)smiling down at us saying "don't cry for me it's great up here you have know idea what your missing."
Tomorrow we will be ringing in the New Year and oh how I wish you were here to celebrate it with us. I know you'll always be with me in mind, heart and spirit but call me selfish sometimes thats just not good enough.Remember the angels wings I have that you loved. You told me I looked like an angel with them on. Thier yours now. Take them and do all the things you dreamed of.Your the angel now.
I've never been good at the whole letter writting thing so goodbye. Know that when you say goodbye it's never forever. I love you Nick.
Molly: I hope you are doing well. you and Nick created a beautiful daughter together.

Hey Nick, I miss you so much right now.it's crazy. i think about you so much.When I wake up, when I go to sleep when I see someone who looks like you. I keep sayin in my head he's gone. But in reality I think i'm still in denile.It really sucks ya know. Just to think that you're really gone. And christmas is in 2 days. How Merry can this Christmas be???Not Merry at all. I'm smiling though, for the sake of others.I know you'd want me to smile. So i'm trying hard to.Well I've gotta go. I'll write again later.
Love ya,

Nick:
I think of you almost every day... of the what-ifs, should-haves, and wishes. You have touched many many lives and I know you will live forever in all of our hearts. I miss you. I know that you are smiling down at us, and I promise I will try harder to smile back. It's hard. The happiness and laughter you brought will be remembered. Thank you.
To the family:
I hope that you will have a good holiday season, and remember that Nick is present in mind and spirit.

Nick,
Well I still can't believe that you
are gone. You were one of the
nicest people I have ever met. You
always had a smile on your face,
which had brought one to mine.I
still remember the first time I met
you, at riverside like 4 years ago,
you came up to me out of nowhere
asking me for my phone number, we
had been friends ever since. You
were a great friend. I remember
talking on the phone with you and
you always said to me I like girls
who wear abercrombie and fitch, and
RIGHT. I always loved talking to
you you always had something to
say.You were always the sweetest
person.I now that you are in a
better place now. Your memory will
always live on.
To Nicks Family
Nick was a great person, he
touoched many hearts his spirt and
memories will always live in all of
us. I wish you the best.Mr and Mrs
Dougherty you raised a great son!
To Molly,
I am so sorry, i give you all my
sympathy through this hard time.I
want you to try to keep smiling and
remember Nick is in a better place
now. I can feel your pain my
boyfriend was ina car accident this
summer and almost died, and i was
in a lot of pain so you must feel a
lot of pain, molly, even though you
don't know me if you ever need
anyone to talk to i will be happy
to be there.You must have a
beautiful daughter and I wish her
the best too.
Nick, I miss you and will never
forget you, I LOVE YOU!!!!

you're still with us all in spirit
and I know you'll always be there
looking over the greatest give you
could ever give, your daughter. I
know all thoughts of you will be
shared with her and she'll always
know who and what you are. That is
a great guy who would do anything
to make his friends happy and
cheerful. Wishing you a merry
Christmas,

Nick, I wish Christmas could be
skipped this year. But I don't
think that will happen. I'm sure
you saw the tree I brought you, and
I am sure you also saw who took it
away!!! Who ever they
were....that's not very nice!
The only thing I am looking forward
to is Madelaine opening her
presents on Christmas morning. I
just wish you were HERE to see.
Yes, I DO LOVE YOU Silly! XOXO

Nick!
I can't believe you have been gone
2 whole months. And to think I
actually made it through them. If
it wasn't for you, answering my
prayers, I don't know how I would
have. I miss you ever day and
always will. I know your still
around, although it is not the same
at all. Love you always my
Pokebutt!! HAHA No I did not forget.
To the people who read this guest
book: It is not "good-bye!" Nick's
spirit will always be around
although we can't see him. Same
with this guest book, thanks to
Nick's dad Jon and Beverly....who
generously put it in our name!
Please keep coming back and
visiting/signing the book.

To Nicks Family, Friends and Molly!
My Prayers go out to you for your
loss, when Susan, Mollys mother
told me what happened, I was
devistated. Allthough, I had never
met Nick face to face, I had talked
to him on the phone while he was at
Mollys house, and On-Line a few
times. He Sounded Like a great guy!
And He made my bestfriend, Molly
very happy and a very proud Mother.
I wish he could see the wonderfull
baby girl that he helped bring into
this world. And I wish I could have
got to know Him better. I know what
it is like to Loose someone you
love, I lost my little brother in
1998 to a drug related Suicide, and
Molly flew to medford, and was here
for me and my family, and I will
forever thank her for that. My
advice to all of you that are
greiving right now, is that it gets
easier...He will allways be here
with you, no matter where you are,
and no matter what anyone says it
is OK to cry!!! My Prayers go out
to all of you....
<3 REST IN PEACE NICK<3
...One of the many taken to early,
to fast.... You will be missed!

feel like youre reading all of
these entries that everyone is

that i could revese time somehow.
everything reminds me you.

just plain awesome..i won't ever

parallel universes existed...and if
they do i hope in my lifetime we
discover a way to get there and i
will find you...god, i love you so
much it's unbelievable. i always
will...i hope that someday, we'll
meet again and reminice of the good
times we had and maybe makes some
new ones. you will ALWAYS be in my
heart...always the biggest piece
i love you!~
