I went to school with Nick and he randomly popped into my head tonight. I remember he was such a funny and intelligent guy. Totally opted out from the B.S. social conformity in school. I wanted to see what he was up to and found this. I don´t even know if it works anymore, but in case it does I send my condolences. He was really one of a kind.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is, but what comforts is knowing that one day we will all be together again and this time there will be no more farewells. Now Nicholas is an angel and is waiting for our passage here on Earth so that one day we may meet again. A hug to friends and family.
