Nikkole Ann "Nikki" Bernhisel

I was the water boy and was best friends with all the cheerleaders, I loved Nikki like she was my sister, my name is Andrew Blackburn and I went by Andy, I was in tears for days when she died, it hurt so bad, I cared about her and I couldn't believe she was gone, I'm so sorry for your loss and I know she's here with all of us watching over all of us, she loved everybody and cared about everybody and was everybodys friend. Rest in peace Nikki

Nikki was once the highlight of my first grade classroom. She always wore a smile and loved everyone. I was greatly saddened when I heard of her passing. I always envisoned the many great things that she would accomplish one day. As a teacher I saw her potential and knew that I was blessed to have her pass through my life. Even as a charismatic six year old she touched and influenced my life. I can see her in my mind as if it was yesterday. The lessons Nikki taught me were to keep trying and...

Ironiclly the song by Simon & Garfunkle "Bridge over troubled waters" sums it right up. Nikki... basically you took that bridge that went to heaven. Sail on... May you rest in peace.

Nikki and I grew up together in Elementry...she was such a sweet girl..haha...man...me and her even got our braces off on the same day! That was a way fun experience! Ya know, it was hard for me not to cry, and I'm sure it is for you guys not to, but remember her beautiful life that she had, she had SOOOO many friends and everyone who just loved her. Always smiling and having fun with everyone. I'm praying for you guys. God is watching over her now. You'll get to see her again. you'll...
