Alexis Nicole Nichols

Alexis was such a sweet, happy person. From OBGATES, all the way up to Matoaca High. I'll always remember her <3

Annie and Austin I was so sorry to hear about Alexis. Even though she was not in my class, I remember her sweet smile at Gates. Please know I am thinking about you both during this time.

Annie - my heart goes out to you! I can recall in first grade Holly and Alexis being in class together and Alexis coming to our hiuse for a play date. And Holly going to your home often. I know your heart breaks, but your certainly left behind a legacy!

Alexis was an inspiration to me and the hundreds of physical therapy students (and girl scouts) she inspired through her teaching. Her sense of humor, passion for helping others, and willingness to share her gifts will not be forgotten.

I served on the Statewide Independent Living Council with Alexis. I am terribly sadden by the loss of such a beautiful and inspiring young woman. Alexis, your smile, talent, and effort will be missed

I first met Alexis when I participated in the VA Lend program. She was only doing the part time version at the time. Her smile and laugh was amazing. She had an incredible spirit and was such a wonderful advocate. We once had a conversation about my daughter (who is on the shy side) and I told her that I hoped my daughter would be like her so full of life and always advocating for herself and others. I cannot express the sadness I felt when I learned that Alexis had gained her wings. But...
