Nick, I was there with you when god called you home, and all I can remember is that Sunday at the banquet praising the lord and how happy you were. I remember going back to the hotel and you saying to me how nice me and my daughter looked at the banquet, and I remember that beautiful smile as you walked away, my only regret was not getting to know you and your wife more, you are loved and will be truly missed.

Nick was one of the nicest, most respectable young men I have ever met. This comes as a shock to see his face. I can't believe he is gone. I was his personal banker(as he would call it). He will be missed and I pray for his family, wife, and precious son. God Bless you in this time of loss.

I was devastated when I heard the news from my granddaughter(Nick's step daughter)It was very hard for me to absorb. Nick was a very nice respectable young man, very soft spoken and exemplified good manners towards his elders. I will truly miss Nick. Let us keep in mind.. To be absent from the flesh is to be present with our CREATOR. Hallelujah! I will forever keep the family in my prayers
Love Always Ms. Carlotta Gardner
