I am a friend of your fathers whom I've known since middle school which was fourth fifth and six grade and on to the present I know that you're passing was a huge loss to them but you will always be alive in their hearts and the people that love you. watch over and bless your family

Shayna Howard

April 26, 2018

One year has passed today, and not a moment has gone by without you being dearly missed. All those memories come welling back to me. School troubles, studying and gossiping, hilarious mall outings, birthday parties, or newest crushes.

I think of you every day Nicole, when we were young I considered you my sister, as we graduated high school I didn't have the priviledge to get to see you as often anymore. I regret that most that we hadn't known eachother as adults as we did as children.

You were and are an innocent soul, creative, hilarious, and original in every way.

Until we meet on the shores of the heavens, watch over your family and beloved friends,
Rest In Peace.

Shay Howard

Dearest Nikki,

Tomorrow will be a year that your smile hasn't been around but your presence is certainly felt. Your laugh and our childhood memories will live on for the rest of time. You are so dearly missed, by so many. Continue to bless and guide your friends and family as they go on in life knowing we have an angel to guide us.

Until we meet again on the shores of heaven.


With love, Shayna.

Dear Kevin, Virginia, & Chris,

We are overwhelmed and heartbroken for your loss. There are no words to tell you how sorry we are. Nicole was such a beautiful young lady with an infectious smile and always so happy and full of life. I am so glad that Lauren and Nicole were such good childhood friends. I remember them swimming in my plastic pool in the backyard when they were little, playing on the playscape, riding bikes, roller-blading, drawing with chalk, playing with barbies and many sleepovers and bonfires. And Lindsey adored her too because she was always right there with them ready to play. We will always cherish these memories! Please know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Heaven has truly gained a beautiful Angel!

We are so devastated !! God has a plan for Nicole. I guess we are selfish in wanting her to remain here on earth, but believe me, God has much more important reasons for wanting Nicole In heaven, close to him. I know it doesn't make any sense , but it is all about faith. God has his own reasons and we won't know his plan until we join Nicole in Heaven ❤. Nicole has a special gift and a kind heart. God needed her w him. He needed her special gift to help him. We must believe!

To Nicole's family: I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Nicole was one of the best people I've ever known. Her laugh and smile were absolutely infectious, and she made me feel right at home my first year of Camp Haiastan when we were put in the same cabin. I would have trusted her with anything, and she was the first person I would go to if I needed cheering up or a shoulder to lean on. She was kind, compassionate, and a light in my and everyone who knew her's lives. I will miss Nicole more than I can say, but I have no doubt that she's looking down on all of us, that she'll be with us our whole lives, and that we will meet again someday.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Nicole with us. She was like another daughter. Her laugh was contagious. Her smile lit up a room. She was kind, smart and sweet. I was always happy to see her hanging out with Amanda. She was a great friend to her. I will always remember her when I see sunflowers. I pray you find peace knowing she is with our Lord. It's hard to understand HIS plan when you don't know HIS purpose.

Oh that beautiful smile I cannot believe how quickly she was taken from us all! Tears fill my eyes as I think about how sweet and loving she has always been. Her beautiful soul will never be forgotten... she may have been a young woman but in my eyes I still see that precious little 5yr old girl... may she fly high and shine down on her amazing family Love you all, stay strong

Michele Bahtiarian

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of such and amazing person. I still remember spending long nights awake with Nicole in our cabin at Camp Haiastan, talking about life and our eventful days as campers. I have so many fond memories of her and will never forget how she could always put a smile on my face, even on the worst of days. I will miss Nicole very much and will never forget her and how easily she could light up every room she entered. I am very sorry for your loss.

Kevin, As a father of a 25 year old daughter I was struck to the core with total sadness and disbelief that your daughter had left this world so unexpectedly. As a father I mourn with you and your family. We are fortunate to come from an ancestry of the earliest Christian nation in mankind which leads me to believe, Nichole being the beautiful Armenian spirit that she is, has a special place in Gods Heavenly Kingdom in where you shall meet again. So sorry for your loss Brother..Vaughn

Nicole is always remembered by her sincere kindness and warmth. Nicole had all the wonderful characteristics of both mother and father. Her fun and playful way kept us amazed and entertained. Especially for our daughter. A rekindling of friendship had just occurred by a chance meeting for both. True memories are measured in love and sincerity. Nicole will be remembered by this. To be remembered always for her sweetness and her heart full of gold is a testament. May the Dear Lord Bless her parents and brother. God Bless Dear Nicole Alexandra Kachigian and keep her in the palm of His hand.

Sweet Nikki, we were so close as kids. Middle school was crazy, full of laughter and fun. We would take hilarious photos in our uniform tops and shorts and knee highs... we talked about boys and gossip... we laughed and cried together... sock hop dances, soccer games, football, studying for finals and midterms.... it all seems so long ago, but now that you are gone it feels like it was just yesterday. Too soon for you Nikki... but God has a beautiful angel now, and I know I will see you again someday... forever my friend. Rest in peace.
