This is the most I've ever hated living away from everybody in my past. It's been almost seven months, but I'm just now learning. For a good portion of my college life, Nick was my housing, tranportation, company and entertainment. I can't even register that he is gone. He will be missed enormously. He is loved and missed. A very good part of us is gone. I am very sorry for our loss.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Nick was a good friend while we were at Drake together and I don't believe the walls of this place have ever heard anything but praises on his behalf. He will be missed greatly by everyone.
