Uncle Johnny, Aunt Delphy, Teri, Johnny, Eddie, and family, my heartfelt condolences go out to all of you for your loss. I wish I could say I knew Nicky as well as I feel I got to know Teri, Johnny & Eddie, but he was much older than me, anyway it seemed like it at the time! What I do remember of him was the obvious, he was very tall and handsome! He was also very reserved and quiet. I do remember this... When he looked at me and smiled, he did have the ability to make one feel as though no one else around existed. He just made my day!!
My hope is that all the memories shared with each of you during this difficult time, along with those you carry with you, help in some small way to lessen the grief and sadness you are feeling.
I regret that a prior commitment will not allow me to attend Thursdays services, but my heart & thoughts are with all of you.
With heartfelt love,
Cynthia L. Chavez
