In the months and years to come my prayer is a living memorial to practice kindness, inclusion, forgiveness and loving kindness. There are people we encounter who make us feel welcome when we are in their presence. That was Nicki. Her laughter filled many of my days. Our last day together was one of the happiest I ever spent with her. Nicki, you taught me so much about love and family. Thank you for your presence in my life. I hope when we were together that I made you feel as amazing as you...

To Jerry, Abby and Austin, I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Nicki when she was in High School and a friend of my son,Brian. I remember so many times with her and think of her so fondly. I can see her driving into our driveway in her little white Honda. I can see her in her pretty dress at Jessica's wedding. Then I remember all the times I would see her at Walmart or McDonald's. I loved to read her posts on facebook. She was always such a sweetie to me. I will miss her greatly,...
