Nicoleyyyyyy!
i miss you!
remember when you and Charlie moved into your first home and it was raining outside? we sat by the door with our socks getting wet sneaking a cigarette. also when we would watch ANTM and talk about going to NYC? i often think of you - what we would be up to? where life would take us.... you were a great friend; a breath of fresh air. remember- when we went to GCC and hung out w Lindsey at the coffee shop? I dont think I have seen her since you passed. I miss you- your smile- your sparkly eyes and those sweet eyelashes- and your dancing [ you were so goofy and could always make me laugh]. i am sorry we didnt get to be friends for longer. i still have your number in my phone. saudade sweet Nicoleyyyyy

It's been 10 years since God took you home. You were on my mind like crazy yesterday so I called my twin, Nikki, and we talked about you and we miss you so much. I will always remember your beautiful smile. I remember when you came to Heritage Elementary in the 6th grade. You made friends with everybody, you weren't worried about what other people thought and you always had our backs. The second you thought something might be wrong you were right there and I thank you for that.You taught me so much. Thank you for being such a loyal friend and an amazing person. I love you Nicole!
P.S. I hope you have spaghetti night in heaven!

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

I didn't know about Nicole. I am so sorry to hear she had leukemia. I can still see that little bundle of enery that used to come in the lab and wait for you, Genia. We never understand why they are taken from us. Someone told me when Jack passed that GOD needs them more than we do.
My sympathy ...
March 22, 2010
On your birthday yesterday you were strong on my mind as health care reform was voted in. I pray that others don't have to endure what you had to, but even through all your suffering you were still the sun shining down on every person you met or touched. You will always be loved and remembered.

til we are together..

I cant believe that your battle is finally over.. You fought soooo hard and you never lost hope or that beautiful smile! I love you and you have blessed my life and I am soo honored to have been able to take care of you. I started as your nurse and you my patient but I got soo much more in the end! I got an amazing friend! You have changed me and made my life better. I loved every moment with you and I know that someday you still have to get me back for all those shots I gave you... maybe in heaven :) I know I will see you again and I am praying for peace and comfort for your whole family! To Nicoles mom, thank you for allowing me to take care of Nicole and I am sending hugs! Love always, Korinne

Nicole- sweet Nicole, I met you once at a barbeque, you were so beautiful even though you weren't feeling well that day, you still smiled. I was so touched by you that I mentioned you to my son, he was very saddened by your illness, and that tells me you did touch many people's lives without even knowing. Rest in Peace Honey, your mom will be okay, you are in a better place.
Peace and Love,

Nicole you are such an inspiration to me and my boys, just know how much you are missed and loved by us. we are so glad to have spent our time with you when you were younger. camping with you and megan. i will never forget how cold we were that night and how we all giggled together, taking the emphasis off the bad situation. and that funny night in the hospital when you belt out laughing because sam was sitting in the corner in his hoodie all wrapped up in a upright fetal position, showing me what "EMO" was. i have so many good memories of us going to our scary movies. we scared ourselves so bad we couldn't sleep. i miss you so much mija. god has you now and you can go anywhere now without all the pain. know that you are so loved and will never be forgotten. your tia patty.

I met you a year ago in the hospital after I had been diagnoised with cancer. I thought what an amazing and beautiful young lady you were. So bubbly and happy. You inspired me to keep my chin up and fight the fight. I am deeply saddened that you are no longer with us. But, I know you in a wonderful place in heaven. God bless you and all the hearts you touched.

Although we never met, my heart aches knowing that you are no longer here. You made my cousin Angela laugh and smile. She had so many beautiful things to say about you and your family.

Hey Nicole,
What a wonderful celebration of your earthy life we had today. We are all going to miss your perky, bubbly, silly self. The room was very full so it was evident how many people you touched. Your guest book will now be available for a lifetime so I hope and pray that it somehow brings comfort and healing to all who read and write in it. Say hi to Mary for me. Ha, I bet you two are all over the place!! Stay sweet and we'll meet again, one fine day!!

Hey Angel, I miss you so much. I know in my heart though that you are in a much better place and are finally at peace. You have no idea how much of an impact you had on me. The day I met you was the day I knew that I wasnt in this fight alone. That there were other people like me fighting to just have some extra time here on earth. You were responsible for giving me my strength to keep fighting. I will always cherish the memories of time we spent fighting cancer together at estrella. One of the best was when we both went down for LPs at the same time and we had the nurses passing messages back and forth. That made even the worst part of treatment alittle bit fun. I love you angel. Always have, Always will. I will see you again. I know that for sure.

My Little Sister Nikki,
I just want you to know that you were, you are, and always will be my reason for living. You have taught me more than you will ever know. I found trust friendship and sisterly love in you and I am grateful for that. I am honored and privileged to have been a part of your life. Peoples lives were change by simply meeting you, imagine what you did to mine in 3 years. I cannot even choose the right words to describe what I am feeling right now that you are no longer here, but I understand you are only gone for a little while. The day will come when I see you again. We have been through so much, together we have caused so much trouble and yet, did it all while smiling and laughing. Your mind brought laughter and joy to so many, and now your spirit is bringing all of them together. I loved so much and you knew that because I reminded you everyday. I just want to tell you that I had some of my greatest moments beside you and your love of your life and I will never forget that. People think about all those great memory they have of you and yet you were in their lives only several hours of the day only scratching the surface, and I had you in my life every minute of every hour for 3 years straight and I cannot help but feel selfish for monopolizing on you‘re friendship!!! Please know that even when you had the slightest doubt, me and your special someone loved you very very much, even if you did not believe him when he told you. You changed his life 100 times over for the good and did the same to mine. I am saddened that you had to go before I could return the favor. Thank you for being by my side in my best of time and being there to hug me in my worst. Know that I tried my very best to be a good friend to you and I did my best to be there for you in return. I end this message my “loverly” little sister by asking you to watch over me while I face the pain of mortality and count with me the remaining second in my life, as together we count down to the day we meet again! I miss you already and love you more. Your best friend and big brother... Jose.
Dear Genia,
Thank you for allowing me to befriend one of the greatest girls to ever cross my path. You and your family have brought me so much joy and great memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. Know that I and everyone else who have been affect by her passing are here for you and we love you all very much. It breaks my heart to think about what you are going through and I hurt more to know that there was not much more I could have done. I love you, Ronnie and grandma very much and I offer you my sincere condolences. I love you all! Yours Truly.

Rest assured, I feel a deep kinship with you. To be young and sick sucks big time. I feel that a beautiful ray of light left the living world and is now shining brightly in the heavens.
You are loved, even if I don't know you.

For the short time that I knew of Nicole, I loved her and her beautiful spirit. She will always live on in our hearts, may our good LORD smile upon you and grant you peace of heart, comfort knowing that she suffers no more and is in the house of our Creator waiting until we all share that joy. GOD bless you always.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Nicole - You and I never got to meet in person, but I knew you as one of my cancer sisters on Myspace. I forever will be grateful that you came into my life even though we weren't friends for long - you touched me in a way that I will FOREVER remember. I know you are an ANGEL in Heaven watching over all of us. You are now pain and CANCER free. Fly, Sweet Angel, Fly and Soar! You will be greatly missed by many.

Nicole is an inspiration to many. She taught us how to be strong,smile and that a mothers love is stronger than any bond in the world. She was a very beautiful person both heart and soul and we thank you and her for allowing us to be a part of her life.

Nicole, I never had the pleasure of physically meeting you, though I feel like we have met in spirit. You were too young to leave us, but please know, YOU will be my light, and all of our reasons to FIGHT for an end to Cancer. You are blessed to have such an awesome mom and firends who loved you so very much. Fly with the Angels N!C! XOXO

Oh mon capitaine --
vous avez changé ma vie davantage que vous savez, mais je sais que vous êtes ici quand une pensée de vous fait mon jour! Je t'aime
And to Genia -- you will always and forever be Momma to so many people because Nicole brought everyone together. I love you.

Nicole--so brave, so strong--there is only one Nicole. With her big, bright smile & her sense of humor--she will be missed by all of us, who now must live in a world without our Nicole in it. She inspired me so much & the thoughts of her will continue to inspire me always. I am grateful to have known her & spend time with her--I will see her & that big smile again. Goodbye Nicole-rest peacefully now & know that you will never be forgotton.
And if I go while you're still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can be together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest,
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
.........I will be there.
