Not sure what to say?

Thank you for picking the best guard dog ever for your sister. RED
I only knew and told your niece and nephew that we were getting a dog and his name would be Red because I spiritually knew it. I told kids we are getting a dog and its name is going to be Red because you loved the Blake Shelton song old red. Then, Cassy got off bus one day, I was sitting on patio, and I looked and asked if she wanted a dog. We picked up Jameson, went to Coon Rapids, and RED was there waiting for us. Thank...

Still thinking about you every single day and missing you. Thank you for spiritually still being present. You are a great "little,big brother" still and forever.

i just found out about nicks passing. i remember his smile and how laid back he was. i havent seen nick since graduation day, but never forgot how gernerally nice he was to everyone in high school. we'll never forget nick opse!

Dana may you have comfort knowing that Nick is at peace now. He will always be watching over you and Cody. Remember to always reach out to others when you need help and support, you don't have to raise little Cody alone. Nick will be greatly missed by many. Stay strong. Lots of love is being sent your way.

At times like these, words are never enough it seems. Hans Christian Andersen said it best when he said "A human life is a story told by God". Nick told a wonderful story that will be forever remembered by all whose life he touched. To the Opse family, to Dana, and little Cody, my sympathies and love go out to you at such a difficult time
