You were one of my best friend's. I'm really hurt that you're still not answering your phone. I don't want to let you go. But if I have to, I hope it's because God has something peaceful and great for you. I'm sorry I didn't do more to save you. I love you Nick. Forever.

Nick was a kind, gentle, intense soul-it grieves me that he was taken so soon- especially when life was giving him the gifts he earned...Bridget, Jim and family-you are in our prayers- there are no words to describe the pain in your hearts-know you are loved and not alone in your pain-Tommy adored Nick, we saw the light beneath the surface that made him special, and feel blessed we had the opportunity to have him in our lives.
With Love,
Irene (rini), John and Tommy Pudelkiewicz

This hurts my heart. I was in Bridget and James shoes a mere 8 months ago today when I lost my 22 year old son who was a friend of Nicks. They sent me a beautiful mass card and reached out to me. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I'm thinking that Randy and Nick are together, in a place so much better than here. We'll see them again, but until then we will try to stay strong for our other children. Please know im praying for your whole family. RIP Nick, give Randy a big hug from his Mom. XOXOXOXO

Though we did not keep in touch after middle school, I have fond memories of hanging out with Nick at his house in Tolland and mine playing video games and going to each others birthdays too. My condolences to the family.
