We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family of Doc Nick. He had been there for us from fleas to midnight birthing problems out in the barn in the middle of winter to 4H check ups for the kids' animals. Bless his heart, he was awesome with the animals and a great comfort to us. He will be sorely missed. May sweet memories bring comfort to the hearts of his friends and family.

Susie and kids,

I love you all very much. I know we didn't keep in touch like we should have. But you all knew I was here for you if I needed to be. I felt special to be a part of your family. Nick will be missed by everyone. I just got his baby picture, that was in the Anderson paper. out and looked at it. He was a very beautiful person.
