My thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family. I still remember when you invited me to your niece's birthday party when I was little :)
February 21 was a hard day, but the memories always put a smile on the faces filled with sadness.

So sad to hear of this unfortunate news. Went to school with Nick. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort your sorrow. My condolences to his family and friends. My prayers are with you.
