I still remember Nick so very fondly and he is in my prayers every day. From the time he rode my school bus until the dreadful day of his untimely death
we were always very close and I hope his new home in heaven is what he had hoped for. God bless you Nick and hope to see you on the other side.

Judy and Alvin: My thoughts and prayers
go out to you at this time of your great
loss. Nick was a prince of a guy and I
feel blessed to have known him. He did
a great job for me on my grandfather's
tomb and would not accept payment. May
the angels lead him to paradise where he deserves to be. Rest in peace, Nick
Your friend.
