Not sure what to say?

I´ll always remember Nick - vibrant, kind, outgoing and generous. I didn´t know Ann - met her once - but they clearly loved each other. I pray that their daughters are well and found comfort in their grief and loss.

Thinking of their tragic death still brings tears to my eyes, even 12 years later. I pray that they are happy together eternally and that their beautiful daughters are healthy and happy. Nick was my brother-in-law for about 7 years and generously employed me while I was between jobs for about a year during the time he was married to my sister. He was the nicest guy and deserved all the success he achieved - and Ann, who I met once and found her to bed delightful and beautiful - they were...

I never met Nick , but Ann was my classmate in High School ......one of the sweetest girls I have ever met ......Nick was a special man to be able have someone as special as Ann by his side . God Rest Them In Peace Forever in The Kingdom of Heaven.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members. The tragic loss of a father, mother, sister, brother, son or daughter is heartbreaking. We will continue to pray for grace to find you.

Nick and Ann,
Never to be forgotten. Forever in our hearts.

I was Nick's college roommate for three years. Nick and I never lost touch with one another. We had a very strong bond, even though we didn't see one another often. Our conversations, often several months apart, always seemed as if we had just been speaking to one another the day before. My heart is very heavy with this news. My deepest sympathies to the Tillman, McCombs, and Secrest families.

Our family lived across the street from Nick's in Potomac Maryland. Growing up with Nick was very special, he was like a brother to me. I was so happy to reconnect with Nick at our high school reunion. What a tragic loss, my heart and prayers go out to his family.

I knew Nick, Ann, and Greg... I looked up to Nick more than most others probably did. My dad wasn't around growing up and I looked at Nick like a Mentor. He widened my perspective on life, gave me pointers on business do and don'ts, and taught me to lighten up and have a little fun. He inspired me to have courage and pushed me out in the business world early. I am only 20 and because of Nick I have been to many States and even Mexico and the Bahammas when without someone like him I would not...

I considerd Ann a good Friend and person from the the first time I met Her. I had the priviledge of dating her in High School. She was special from day one. I am extremely happy that she met a Man who loved her and gave her a family. My prayers are with her family and friends. I am Gratefull that she will always live through her daughters. It makes me appreciate the time I have with my Four Sons. God Bless
