Very sorry about your loss. I will always remember the summer I spent with Nick working with him. It was a blast. You will be missed greatly.

Nick was my kid brother and spent many summers in Indiana with my husband and me. There was never a dull moment with Nick there.
Nick, I will miss your joy and sense of humor. You were so special to me.
I love you and will always treasure that love and the memories that come with it. You are forever in my heart.

Uncle Nick showed me how to play '52 card pick up' when I was young (& dumb!). He was only four years older than me, and he was my 'cool' Uncle. I will always remember his kindness to me shown on a trip to visit our Aunt Carol & Uncle Rich in Indiana. Many will miss Nick Michels.
