Darling Nikki,
As I look back on this past year, I can never begin to express the pain and sorrow that we have all felt for You. You were loved more than You can ever imagine and I only hope You know that now from where You are. The answers to the questions we have, only You can answer but everyday we all try to come up with some reason "why". Sometimes my mind is at ease knowing that You are in a better place but most days, the agony of losing You is stronger than happiness of your eternity. I will always believe in my heart, that your time came too soon. Everyday, I ask God if it was a mistake, if perhaps it wasn't supposed to happen this way, and everyday the reality becomes more real. I know that I am not supposed to question our Lord and I cannot help doing so. As I tell You everyday sweetheart, I will never ever forget You and You are with me eternally; every hour, every minute, every second of everyday and it will be that way until I can humbly join You and my departed family memembers and friends in the presence of our God. I can only imagine what I will see when I get there and although I am not ready to go there yet, everyday I wish I could just spend one more minute with You, one more smile with You, one more laugh with You; just one. I cannot thank You enough for leaving me with some very special people here and I know that is a blessing in disguise. You left us so unselfishly to defend your boys and You left me unselfishly with a very special person. Your miracle will always live on as will the mystery of your death and your afterlife. Rest in peace My Darling and please know that You can always rest here in my heart and soul.
Always and Forever,
Chris

Dear Nikki,
No words can ever say how much I love you and how much I care about you. You will always be my Angel and you will always be with me here in my heart. I tell you this everyday and I will continue to tell you until the day comes when I can join you. You will always be with me in spirit and soul and you will always be a part of my life. There is nothing that anyone can ever throw at me that would ever sever my love for you. I truly believe our love was larger than anything on God's Earth and I believe that it will always remain that way. As I have said to you so many times when we were together, I will "Never Say Goodbye" and as you always used to say to me, "See ya in a bit."
Eternally Yours,
