Dear Jeff, in the last couple of travel agent workshops in Italy I told you I missed seeing your mother. I had no idea she was so ill and I had expected to be with her again and again. She was one of those colleagues you do not forget as she touched your heart with her niceness and her big smile! My deepest condolences to you and family. I will miss her a lot, and there will always be an emptiness at the TTI or BIT or ACE or any of the other Italian conferences without her. I hope to see you again soon and give you a big hug which will be passed on to her!
With sadness, Silvia Gardin from Frosch Travel in Larkspur, California

We will miss the times & adventures we shared with our beloved Nicki and Al as a foursome. To name only a few of many; attending the P.S.I.F.F. and the afterglow at our house discussing the films we had just seen over a meal and a glass of wine. Sharing our love of opera & attending operas together. And; the travels we embarked on. Now, like the 3 musketeers, we, with Al, will share new adventures. Nicki would like that and she will live on in our memories because of it. We'll always have "Kelly's Heros".

My Condolences to the entire family. Although I didn't personally know "Nicki" I've known Al for numerous years both at Cal Poly Pomona, and then coaching against him at the High School level while he was at Damien High. I proudly watched him build the Soccer program at CS Fullerton and followed them on a regular basis. Al, to you and your entire family, my heartfelt condolences on your loss. May God bless her and your family in this time of grief.

Your mother was by far the most beautiful woman I have ever met. She was always cheerful and smiling. She carried herself with a type of class and dignity that can never be replicated. She was an inspiration to me and my children. We always felt welcomed and loved. Her enthusiastic and loving smile will be greatly missed.

I will remember how Nicki opened her home to me like I was family. Her passion for travel was inspiring. I cherish the memories I have of her in the kitchen, cooking us wonderful meals before sending us back to college. I will never forget how to make a proper lasagna bolognese and will pass that gift to my children some day. Sei un bellissimo angelo!
