Nicholas E. Girard

Grandpa is with you now. I wonder if you can still sit on his lap and look up and ask the same question you asked many years ago. I love you and miss you.

another year coming up Nick,grandma and me miss you every day

Our sweet sweet boy thirteen years have passed since we said goodbye. Our hearts will always remember you as a beautiful young man. We will always keep you in our hearts. All our Love always.
Grandpa & Grandma Sekula

Dearest Angel Nicholas, Grandpa and I shared some M&M's with you on Easter Sunday for your birthday. We enjoyed our visit with you and shared precious moments. Especially the day when you were so little and sitting on his lap and you asked him "Grandpa why do you have hair in your nose?" He answered all grownups do. "Not me" you answered. So a priceless moment. We Love You Nicholas.
Grandma & Grandpa Sekula

Our Angel Grandson Nicholas, it has been ten years since we were together. Grandpa and I brought you a bouquet of flowers and we reminisced about the wonderful times we shared and how you made us laugh. Your smile is made of angel dust. God Bless you our Angel and watch over your Mom.
Love Grandma and Grandpa
ps. Grandpa says we will bring M&M's next time.

Our son, Nathan Holliman, was the recipient of the Nicholas Girard Memorial Award at the Stonington HS football banquet for the 2014 season.
We are proud and honored to continue Nicholas' legacy.
Thank you.

Nick,

There is never a day that goes by that I don't think of you and your smiling face. Life is not the same without you. Your friends miss you so very much, you touched their lives in so many ways. Josh feels so much pain from your passing and will never forget the friendship that you two have shared. Someday we will understand why...but only you and God know why. I will trust him but I want to be selfish and have you back. Please hear all the prayers and know that you are missed. I Love ya, Kim

It has been a long seven months without you Nick. Everyday up at school I wake up a picture of you and it makes me smile, although mine could never compare to yours. You are an amazing kid I wish you were here so much but I know you are in a better place looking down apon all of us. I hope you hear my prayers Nick I miss you kiddo... we all do. God bless you!! love you

Nikaris,

I know i've already signed this but i wanted to update you on how it's been since the last time i've written. I just want you to know that i'm sorry i haven't come to visit you in a while. :( I miss you so much every day. School is so difficult without you. My life has been so rough since the day you passed. There were times where i wish you are there to cheer me up or just to hang out on those lonely days. You always knew when i wasn't doing good and i could tell you cared because you would give me a rub on my back that was so comforting. I wish i could i could just turn around and you be there smiling back at me. I miss that smile more than anything in this world. I loved you so much and i never got a chance to tell you that and i regret it. You were someone who i wanted in my life forever. Sometimes i feel so empty and it hurts. Someday i will see you again and it will be the greatest day in the world! I miss you and i love you so much!

Love Always,

Skyezthelimit

Nicky,you are so loved and the ache in our hearts will always stay. You are truly an angel of God. He gave you to us for a short time and he called you back to him. The reason is a mystery to us. Someday we will see you again and we will have the answer. Everyone who knew you and all who knew of you were touched by your grace and kindness and love. This was our first Christmas without you. I am sure you were with us at your house on Christmas Eve. Everyone of us were there. Your Mom and Dad, Mary,Gil, Nelson,Daniel,Grandpa and I, Aunt Pauline and Uncle Paul and Aunt Valerie and all your cousins.

Nicholas I miss you so. Your are in my thoughts every day that goes by. I will cherish the memories in my heart forever.

Love Gramdma

Hey Nick,

It hasnt been that long since youve been gone but it seems like just yesterday we were at heidis party talking the whole time and playing ultimate frissbee. Hah and my mom fell asleep but was suposed to pick us up. I've already wrote you a note telling you all about our times during the summer and another one will be coming soon. your the best, kid. i love you so much.



<3 always,

Lexy

Nick,

I morn for those who never got to meet you or your smile.



Love always and forever,

Dana

Nick- not a day goes by when i'm not thinking about you. I miss you so much. Everything about you, your smile and your laugh...i called you my big teddy bear and theres is no one in the entire world that can give a hug the way that you did...you will always and forever be in my heart.

Nick-

I know I didnt really get to know you all that well, but I remember my first day in Stonington, you were one the first people I met. You were so nice, and you actually made Math fun..Then I saw you in Central Villiage at the races, and you tried to explain a little of it to my dad and I. I wish I could have known you a little better, but you are one of the nicest, funniest people ive ever met, and you'll be missed. R.I.P



To the Girard Family, I am very sorry about your loss, just cherish all of the memories, and I wish you all the best.

Aunt Di and Family, I am so sorry to hear about nick. If you need to ever talk, you can email me or mom. We love you all so much. Love Kori

DEAR DIANA AND FAMILY; KIM BARBER HAS TOLD US OF YOUR LOSS. I CAN'T BEGIN TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF SADNESS YOU WILL ALWAYS CARRY WITH YOU. AS I READ SOME OF THE ENTRIES, ESP. FROM NICKS FRIENDS, I HAD TO THINK OF ALL THE MEMORIES THAT WILL BRING A SMILE TO YOU AS WELL. WHAT A FINE YOUNG MAN, WHAT A CREDIT TO HIS FAMILY AND ALL WHO INSPIRED HIM TO BE THE PERSON THAT TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES. HE WILL BE REMEMBERED FONDLY. A CARD THAT I JUST PURCHASED SAYS "ONCE LOVE IS GIVEN IT NEVER DIES. LIKE YESTERDAY'S SUN IT'S ALWAYS PRESENT. WHETHER AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR JOURNEY, OR AT THE END, IT'S ALWAYS SHINING FOR US." MAY YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS BE FILLED WITH THE ECHO OF HIS LAUGHTER, MAY THE MEMORY OF THE HAPPY TIMES EVENTUALLY COME TO COMFORT YOU WITH LESS HURT AND LOSS. YOU AND NICK ARE IN MY PRAYERS-WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY. CONNIE TAPPER, GROVER INSURANCE

I can't begin to express my sadness toward your families. This one has really hit home. My family and I are truly inspired by your strength, it's through these tough times that we find that family is the most important part of life. Everything else can wait. Stay strong and keep united.

Diana and family,

Ours hearts go out to you. You are a wonderful person with alot of love to give. I never met Nick but from what I have read he was a wonderful young man. Please know we are thinking and praying for you all.



the Langlois family

Diana and family

I did not know Nick but I heard alot about him and I never heard any negitive. I know that he will be greatly missed. Your famly is in our prayers.

Love always

Rebekah

I didn't know Nick very well, in fact, I kept getting Nelson and Nick confused when I would see them together. Reading over all of the other entries, it is obvious that Nick was truly a special person. Dianna, my heart goes out to you. I pray for Nick and your family every day. I hope that knowing so many people are praying for you and thinking about you is a comfort in this difficult time. Know that Nick will always be watching over you. God bless your family.

Dianna and Family,

Our deepest, heartfelt sympathy is with you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Family of Nicholas,

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to you...I did not know Nicholas but after talking and listening to people at his service that had known him, it was obvious to me that he was a very special person. May God bless your family.

Sincerely,

Nick is an inspiration to all of us. May we live by his example with: smiles, laughter, honesty, loyalty, mannerism, thoughtfulness and kindness. May his spirit live on through us. Miss you always!

Nelson

I knew you back in 1981 for a short time. I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your son.May god bless you and your family at this time.

Nick,

I don't know you, but I have heard of you and my brother has talked about you alot.[jesse] He thinks you were a great role model to him. But even if you're up in heaven right now, don't worry, cause everyone is waiting to come up and see you again, trust me.

Belive me on this one, even your worst enimies [if you had any] were probably balling thier eyes out when they heard the news. We all miss you, Nick. RIP.

Nick~i'm gonna miss your smile that you brought with you when you walked into everyroom you went in...we all love you and will miss you greatly

~Melissa

Nick,

There are so many things i have to say to you. I have known you for so long. We became closer then ever this year and i don't regret that for one second. You were the greatest person in the whole world. You were someone i could talk to about anything and not worry about the way i sounded. You were always so understanding and would really listen to what i had to say. We had such good times together. i will miss all the laughs we had together, long talks in study hall, and all the bus rides we had in middle school. You were always there to make me happy, no matter what the cost. You would always be the first person to lend me money in school so i would not go hungry that day. You always thought about others and rarely think of yourself. When you would smile you lit up the room and made me feel happy even when i was in one of my worst moods. When you gave me a hug i felt so safe just being there. You were such an important person in my life and i will miss having you in it. Goodbye for now. Save me a spot up there buddy. I will see you again some day. RIP

Always and forever,

Nelson and Dianna and MaryJo,

John and I are so terribly sorry. If there is anything please call at 401-315-0099. You are in our prayers as is your son and entire family, grandparents, aunts and uncles cousins. We will pray for all of you.

Hey Nick,

You were a great kid. I remember that everyday on the bus in middle school you would be singing some song either to your cd player or to the radio. School is not going to be the same without you, you were always smiling when I saw you and you always had something to say to improve someone's day. You were one of the best people that I knew and it's just so weird going from saying I'll see you next year to Rest In Peace. Nick you'll be with us all in our hearts.I hope you know that you are very loved by everyone. We'll meet again some day. Untill then R.I.P.

Nick, what can i say. We've grown apart a bit but you've still affected my life a great deal. I'll never forget our chorus classes in middle school with that great voice of yours, you loved to sing and i had so much fun with you. You could always light up a room, that was just the kind of person you were, the kind who cared about everyone. Nick, you were always a wonderful guy, one of the best I've ever known. Not only that but the way you were with your little brother made me love you even more, it was clear how much you cared for him. I can honestly say that you will always been in our hearts and there is no way you will ever be forgotten. Rest in peace Nick.

Love always,

Jenn

Nick you were a good friend, over the time I knew you, I look back and smile at the converstions we've had and enjoyed. Football won't quite be the same without you, you were probably one of the best ones I knew and were buddies with. I hope your next life can bring as much happiness and joy as it did in this one. Rest in peace man, I'll always be thinking about you.

Dear Girard Family:



God's blessings of peace, strength and comfort to all of you at this difficult time.



Love to all of you,

The Zazzera Family

Nick, You will never know how many lives you touched and blessed when you were with us. We all love you and miss you so incredibly much. I have a wonderful last memory of you: on Nelson's graduation this year, I remember walking to my car after it was over, and I saw you on the soccer field by the parking lot, playing with your little brother. You were chasing him and tickling him every time you caught him, making him laugh which put a huge, brilliant smile on your face. I remember watching you for a moment and catching your eye and smiling back, because I thought you were the sweetest and most caring kid for playing with your little brother like that...and that smile...you were one of a kind, Nick. I'll always miss you, but I'll never forget how sweet and wonderful you were. Thanks for gracing this earth with your beautiful presence. We all love you. Rest in peace

NG forever

Love,

Kyla

Nick, I will always miss you forever and ever, but i want you to know i will love you for ever and ever too. Im going to miss the times you and nelson came over and we watched TV or played football in my backyard, but im going to miss your smilie and how you lit up the room when you entered it the most, You were such a great person doing so many things to help others out and you were never selfish. Watch over us for me! I cant wait to meet up again someday!

Rest in peace nick, I love you and always will.....Matt

Nick, I met you only a little while ago because of Nelson.. but from meeting you at the mall.. and talking to you at Nationals.. I found that you were a cool kid.. and extremely funny. I had a ton of fun at Nationals and the car ride home was a ton of fun..I wont forget you.n and the laughs we had that day. You will be greatly missed. We know you are shinning down.. I can see why god would have wanted you.

Nick-

When I moved to Stonington back in sixth grade you were one of my first friends. You approached me with that lovely smile of yours and ever since then you have been a one of a kind friend. You've always been there for me when I needed you to talk to me or listen to me. I'll never forget all our bus rides with Tina and everyone. I miss you so incredibly much. I was honored to have you as a friend. I'll never forget you and the wonderful person you were. You will always live in everyone's heart and always remembered. Shine down on us Nick and I'll see you again someday. R.I.P. Nick and god bless.

Love always,

Morfia (a.k.a Morfin' Power)

Nick,

I will miss you so much.You are someone I will never forget. What I will remember most is your kindness, laughter, and smile. You were such a great person. A few years ago when we were auditioning for CMEA you sung the song "To the Sky."After hearing your awsome voice you gave me a lot of inspiration. After, I sung "To the Sky" in a COMO talent show because of you. Even through this saddness, I can smile knowing your looking down upon and watching over your family and friends. You'll always be there in our hearts. You will be greatly missed.Your friends and family love and care about you. May you rest in peace.

Love,

Michelle

Nick, i know everyone will miss you and miss the way u lit up a room when walked in. ill miss seeing you when i come up. RIP Buddy

I know I didn't really know Nick, but even without knowing him, you could tell what a cool, caring kid he was. Rest in peace, Nick. God bless you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers and will be missed so much.

Nick,

I can't begin to express the sorrow i feel from your passing.You were a great friend who was always willing to listen,a wonderful guy who was always finding new ways to make us all laugh. You were loved by all of us who knew you. You will be greatly missed. I will never forget you.

Stephanie Boutin

Nick, I don't even know where to begin. We've had so many memories together in classes, doing projects together, and hanging out and making fun of Nelson. LOL we found out together that i was terriable at pong! Classes next year aren't gonna be the same with out you. You won't be there physically to cheer me up when i'm sad. I'll miss that big smile of yours that brightens up my day! R.I.P. Nicholas Evans Girard (aka Nikaris) I'll miss you always and we'll see each other again someday. God Bless.

Love Always,

Skye
