Lois, Olivia, Justin & Tony,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Nicki & I met through softball and instantly became friends. We were only 13/14 years old at the time, but she alway knew how to make me laugh. Joe was one of our coaches & I still remember every moment we all spent together. For the couple years we played softball together Nicki was like a sister to me & Joe was like my other dad. Even though Nicki & I lost touch as we grew older, we never forgot one another. And I will never forget her now. She loved you all so much. Every time I saw her out at softball, all she would talk about is all of you & how much you all meant to her. Even though she's gone, this is not the end. She's up in heaven now, with Joe, and they are both looking down on all of you. My heart goes out to all of you. This is the time when you all need each other to lean on one another. Nicki will be missed immensely. She will forever be in my heart & our prayers as well as all of you. We love you Nicki. God Bless all of you. Xoxo

Nicki was an amazing soul. I'm grateful our paths crossed in our lifetime. Being around Nicki was always a good time. She was smart, funny, caring&your spirits would be lifted just being around her. Nicki loved her children regardless anything in/of this world. I'll always remember the happiness she felt being pregnant with her son, my cousin Justin. The love she had before he was even born. I've not seen her for many years⁢ saddens me I know longer have that chance. I have some great memories with Nicki, many good times. Nicki will be missed by all that loved her, all that was touched by her presence. More so her children that will always long for their Mother. She'll live on thru all that loved her, the hearts of her children, the memories/stories that others will share, tell her children of their Mother. Rest easy my friend&I pray you found the peace that your soul has ever looked for in this lifetime. I know ur smiling down, side by side with your parents, loved ones, watching over all the ones left behind who's hearts you've touched. Tell my brother how much he's loved, how much he's missed. I still can't believe I'll never see you again in this lifetime Nicki. But I will see you, my brother&all those that's missed in the promised land of Heaven when my time comes. My heart, thoughts&prayers are with those who's hearts are broken, affected by the loss of your beautiful soul. Until our paths cross again my friend, rest easy&I'll see you later. Love always friend❤

Nicki will be missed by many people. I remember when she was just a kid who loved soccer. She was beautiful and had a smile that could brighten anyone's day. She was the apple of her dad's eye. I'm praying for the rest of the family, especially her kids.
