Merry Christmas Nick. I heard your voice in church this morning - so many wonderful memories. I know you were there with me. It still seems like yesterday when my heart was broken beyond repair. Kiss Kim for me. I love you baby boy...always and forever.

Mom

Merry Christmas baby boy. I miss you so much it hurts my heart. Your humor - your smile and that amazing voice. I know you're singing for the angels and looking over your beautiful Kim. If I had one more day with you, I'd hold you and never let go. If I close my eyes very tight, I can see you laughing - what a wonderful memory for me.

I'll eat a few extra cinnamon rolls for you after we open gifts.

Sleep well - I love you.

Mom

Nick,

We grew up together. We did not hang out a lot outside of school but I always felt you were a truly remarkable person. You had a great personality, you were funny, and you had a remarkable voice. It hurt me very much when I heard about your loss three years ago. I was in California when I heard and I felt much further away. Tonight, im in Newington, and I'm thinking about you on this day. I just listened to one of your songs and I wish I could tell you how great it was....

How can it be 3 years? Sometimes I still think you're going to come in the door and come NOISILY up the stairs... Oh God Nick, the pain is so unbearable. How could this have happened!! My heart aches so much, I don't even know what normal feels like. I can't wait until the day we meet again. I love you and miss you more than words can EVER describe.

Rest well my darling boy....

Mom

Happy Birthday baby boy. I never made you a cake on your last birthday but I made you one today. I know it's not the same but it made me feel a little better. I miss you so much that sometimes I just can't breathe.

I finally got the courage to watch the childhood video's. You and Kyra both made me smile and be joyful at all the fun things we did when you were both young. We had some GREAT vacations and I will cherish those memories forever.

I would give my own life...

NICK'S BIRTHDAY IS ONLY AFEW DAYS AWAY AND MY THOUGHTS HAVE BEEN FLOODING OF HIM. MY HEART IS HEAVY AND YOU KNOW THAT LUMP YOU GET IN YOUR THROAT! NEVER A DAY GOES BY WHEN I DON'T THINK OF HIM ATLEAST ONCE. I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE VISITING HIS GRANDFATHER AND NICK WALKED IN. WE HADEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN AFEW YEARS WE SAT AT THE BIG WOODEN KITCHEN TABLE AND LAUGHED, CRIED AND TALKED FOR HOURS. THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE AND SEEING HIM AT THAT TIME WAS ONE OF THEM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY HANDSOME...

It's been over two years now, nick. And i still toast to you at every event. I hope you hear it up there. Love you, man. I'm still and always will be thinking of you.

Up until now I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge that it has been 2 years since I last saw your smiling face. I miss you every day and listen to your music at least once a day, sometimes more. There have been so many things going on in my life that I would have loved to have you help me with. We 'Hermann's' talk about you constantly and miss you very much. I know you are looking down on me, Nick, and I love you very much.
All my love always,
Nikki

Happy Birthday Nick,

Might not be your first choice but once again, we are celebrating your day with music! Dad, Ky & I are headed into NYC to see 'A Chorus Line'. The important thing is we'll be together and we'll be celebrating YOU and your love for music.

I miss you bad baby boy. I will always love you. I know you're taking good care of Kim - kiss her for me.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart.
Love,
Mom
