My daughter Kelsey rode the bus with Nick. As I read his letters, I could tell he was a very bright and smart young man. It was a tragedy for him to be taken at such a young age. But he is with the Lord now, and I am sure he is flying with his wings looking down over his parents and family and friends. His family is in our thoughts.
