Nicholas Burley

We will always love and miss you Dear Nicholas! God Bless You!

It has been years now and yet, seems like it was only yesterday. You will always be remembered fondly and carry a special place in my heart. The last message you sent to me was so special, Nick, and I will cherish it always.

It was a year ago today that I learned of losing Nicholas, a nephew serving in the Army in Afghanistan. I didn't really lose my nephew, it just seems that the Nation has taken him to be one of their heroes.

Somehow that is not enough consolation, I wish I could have some time with Nicholas now, as I frittered away my chance and regret it deeply.
Nicholas taught me a few things through this last year.
1. Family is important.
2. Do not hesitate.
3. How...

Miss you Burley. You were a great soldier!

I think of you and your life's impact as an alert to all. Life is 'the present' not a place for delay and indecision. The way you lived your life helped us all.
Thanks for the lesson.

Nick...I miss you with all of my heart. I think of you everyday and everytime I wonder what I should do in a situation I think of what great advice you would have given me. Love yoy bud <3

Our Pastor referred to you during two of his Sunday services, he asked that we take a moment at 3pm today to remember you and Vets killed in action, just like you. Rest in Peace and thank you for having the back of so many Americans.

We will not forget your service or ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Rest In Peace Brave Hero!

Nick I want to honor you this Memorial Day. My flag is flying just for you. I have another flying for all your Buddies that have also gone with you. I sent you Chubbs a few days ago. Did you get him or is he waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for your Mom? I love you both so much that I am still in tears as I write this. AJ
