Nicholas O'Malley

Dear O'Malley Family,

Just to let you know that I am thinking of you all on this important day and praying for you. Making it through the 1st year after Nick's death is a milestone, even though it seems like a small one since it still hurts so much. Tomorrow will be the 4th anniversary of John Robert's death and the day is still hard, although not quite as hard as before. The Lord is gracious in healing...we NEVER forget and we NEVER quit missing them, but it is amazing how He restores our lives and we move on, knowing that our loved ones are tucked safely away with Him in His kingdom.

Thinking of you!

Dianne Payne

O’Malley Family,



I am very sadden to learn that Nick as passed away. He was such a great guy. I 1st met Nick our freshmen year when we went to Washington DC together for our History Honors class. He was a great guy and always made me laugh. I am very sorry for your lost and my heart goes to you all.

I miss you Nick.

Cousin Tom, Virginia, Kelly & Colleen:

Though 47 years have passed since we last spent time together at the O'Malley home outside of Tamaqua, PA, nothing can diminish the sadness I felt when Aunt Betty O'Malley told me about the death of your son & brother, Nicholas.

My wife and I have only one child, Cody,now 25 years of age, and it would be devastating to us to think someone his age could pass away so young.

No words can truly express my grief and the feelings I have for your family.

May Nick rest softly in God's hands.

With My Deepest Condolences, Billy

Dear Virginia, Tom, and girls,

We're still praying...haven't forgotten. You have been through many "first year" milestones...Thanksgiving, Christmas/Nick's birthday, etc...getting through the "first" celebrations without a loved one is hard...but you are getting there!

Know that you are loved and lifted in prayer, and that your precious son/brother will NOT be forgotten!

Take care,

Dianne

My Dear Tommy,Virginia,Kelly and Colleen know in your hearts that we have been praying for our Lord Jesus to comfort you as only He can do. Turn to Him each day and I am assured that He will be there for you to carry you, to comfort you and guide you. Know, also, that Nick is with His Father, our Father in total joy and comfort. What a comforting thought to cary with you.

Each and EVERY day I am in constant prayer for each of you.



Pat,Uncle Pat

Merry Christmas and Happy 22nd Birthday Nick... Tom, Virginia, Kelly, and Colleen, I spent most of today thinking about you guys and praying for ya'll. It's all a matter of time before we see Nicko again. We miss you Nick!

Happy Birthday Nicholas

We miss you



Dad, Mom, Kelly & Colleen

We miss you all and know this is a hardtime right now. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We love you guys. We are still praying for you.

I've read through what people have writen on this web page many times, and each time, words fail me. I cannot think of the words which explain how privaledged I feel to have met Nick, how sad his passing is, or how hard the gap left in the lives of the people who were closest to him, will be to fill. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Nick, I love you dude x

Although I didn’t live with Nick in his time in England, when I visited the halls, he was always up to something, bubbling around, but also never to busy to stop and have a chat, even if he not met you. A ……, well we all know how great he was.

Love andrew

Like everyone else i was devastated when I heard the news of Nicks death. Nick was a good friend to me whilst he stayed here at Norwich and he will be deeply missed by all of us at UEA. Whilst my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends I find comfort in the fact that we were all so fortunate to know such a wonderful, bright and fun person and I will treasure those memories of him that I am so lucky to have.

Dear Mr. and Mrs O'Malley, Kelly and Coleen,

We have all had such a big shock and are so devastated.

Shining boy! We all loved him.

We had a get-together in the pub on Thursday when we heard the news, and there were many tears. We are having a party for him tonight in Norfolk Terrace, where we all used to live (and I still do). We will be remembering him, and thinking of you.

We will be sending you letters (proper ones).

My very sincere condolences. I can't imagine what you must be going through.

Sue (the oldest member).

I was lucky enough to meet Nick when he was studying in the UK..he was a true gentle man who had such a vibrant outlook on life....even though some people only come in to your life for a brief time the loss when they leave makes as much an impact as the impression they made when they were with you....

I am so saddened by the news of Nick's death. I knew him only for those few months while he was studying in England. He was renowned at the Univeristy of East Anglia for his refreshing character, sense of humour and Miami charm. He will be deeply missed by us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Nick. I am a CAP Advisor at Coral Gables High School and remember his difficult decision when choosing Wake but when I saw him later, he was very pleased with his decision. He was so friendly and I enjoyed working with him. My prayers are with your family.

Barbara Inskeep

Tom and Virginia,

It was good to see you this weekend and get to share again. You both looked good. I continue to feel the loss and the anxiety of what can happen in life. Jesus guaranteed us His presence in all things. I continue to pray for you and the girls that He will comfort you until we all can be with Nick again. I will try and make it a practice to emulate Nick's friendliness with a Nick hug. From all of these pages it is clear that he did make a difference to a lot of people, and I attribute a lot of that to you.

May God richly bless you always,

Your friend,

Mike

I was saddened and completely heartbroken to hear about Nick's passing.



I have known him since the third grade, and because of our last names...we we're usually sat next to each other. Out of the thousands of peers that I have attended school with, Nick was one of the few that stood out in my mind. I continued to think about him often after graduation.



The last time I saw Nick was Christmas vacation 2001. I ran into him in the Grove and we hung out a bit that night.



Although we never were very close, he always had a smile for me and kind words to say. I was looking forward to seeing him at our highschool reunion......



My heart and love goes out to the entire O'Malley family. Remember, you do not grieve alone. All of the many people who's lives Nick touched are grieving with you.

Virginia, Tommy, Kelly & Colleen,

So many beautiful entries have been written. So many say what my heart feels. I'm not very good at writing, but I'll try.

If we do not show a positive change in our lives after going through this terrible ordeal, I feel it would be a shame. I believe Nick wanted his family to be as close as possible, not just his immediate family but his extended family. So, I promise to be in touch more often with all of you and to reach out my hand of service. To cry with you, to remember with you and most of all to hold you, if you'll let me.

My prayer is that your family will become closer now than it ever has been. Special things can happen through tough times, if you let them. Focus on our Lord and you will see new blessings appear.

My heart pains when I think of all you have to endure through this trial. I pray for time to pass quickly so your healing can begin. I care about all of you, and my love goes out to you all now and always.

Bev

Dear Uncle Tommy, Aunt Virginia, Kelly and Colleen,

How I wish there was something I could do for you to make the pain go away. I don't know half of what you are going through right now, but what I do know is that Nick is in a better place having a wonderful time praising God right now.

I love you guys and I know Nick loved you and always talked about how great you are and I know you guys loved him and he definitely knew it.

I'm here if you guys need ANYTHING and I'm always praying for you.

Your nephew and cousin,



Rohry K. O'Malley

Dearest Family,

Please know that there are hundreds of people praying for you, literally; on our prayer chain at church alone there are two hundred!Here is a quote from a book called Strong Women, Soft Hearts by Paula Rinehart: "Deep grief has a blinding quality, and it can easily seem at such a time that God is nowhere to be found. We cannot trace His hand in the dark. We discover later, around the bend, that he has been there all along. Writes John Piper,"When things are going 'bad' that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good." "He works all things together for good for those who love Him." (Romans 8:28) "We must drop anchor in the goodness of God," realizing that He truly loves us, and that nothing we do can change that fact.

Carolina Medical Products Company would like to extend our sympathy to the O'Malley Family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

It is with the love I have for Pat, Bev and their family that I ask God to comfort all the O'Malley's in this time of sorrow. Please, dear God, shower this family with Your love and blessings and provide them with the peace that comes with knowing You as their Lord and Saviour. I never met Nick in this life but I am excited to know I will meet this obviously wonderful, caring young man in Heaven.

In Christ's Love

Curt

I went to Miami because my cousin Nicholas died. I was and am very sad. I cried at school. I cried at my house and I cried in Miami. I went to the funeral and I cried some more.

I'm still really,really,really,really sad. I wish I still could see him, but I can't.

I love you Nick and Uncle Tommy and Aunt Virginia and Kelly and Colleen.



Meghan O'Malley 7 years old

When I was driving down to Miami, I thought, 'how could it be my cousin? It has to be someone else! But, it truly was my cousin.'

He probably didn't think about himself dying this way.

You never know when it is your time, so you should live your life so that you have no regrets. NICK DID!!! His Family Does!

My Uncle Tommy and my Aunt Virginia talked about how they showed each other love and forgiveness all the time. They spent lots of time together. They ARE a very close family. They said they have no regrets and I want to carry on this idea of NO REGRETS because--- you never know when it is your time.

I love you NIck, your cousin Casey O'Malley

Dear Tom, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen,

I adored your son, he was so good to my brother, you all were. Nick was that exceptional friend that completed Bobby. He brought Bobby out of his social clumsiness and every great thing that Bobby has done Nick has had his input in. Their friendship was extraordinary because it survived puberty, distance, girls, college and careers, which is a demonstration of the exception man you raised. I am sorry the world has lost such a wonderful person; he was a testimony of faith, love and friendship. He was that rare child that grew into that rare man that that accomplished great things in his life. He is loved and missed throughout the world. I pray for each of you every night.

~Natalie

Their friendship was extraordinary because it survived puberty, distance, girls, college and careers, which is a demonstration of the exception man you raised.

Tom, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen,



Words could not begin to express my sorrow as you grieve Nicholas' death. I know how truly blesed he was to be a part of your family and so loved by each of you. His smile and vivacious personality will forever live as a footprint on each of your hearts. As you gaze up at the starry night may you find solace in this poem

"Perhaps they are not stars,

But openings in the Heaven

where the love of our lost ones

pours through

and shines upon us

to let us know

they are happy...Author Unknown



Blessings to each of you



Lynne McCain

Nick,



I miss you every day. You were the best friend I could have ever had, and I would take 21 years as your friend over a lifetime of friendship with anyone else. You were always there for me, and I will look back on the times we spent together as the best in my life.





Your best friend always,

Bob

Dear Tom, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen,

I have been thinking of you constantly since hearing about Nick. I haven't written sooner because there really are no words that can possibly communicate what I am feeling or what I want to say to you.

I sat with my son Benny last night and looked at every item on Nick's website. The incredible goodness and light that he brought to the world was so evident in every frame.



Tom and Virginia, whenever speaking with you, my strongest image is how visibly you both wear your love for your children, when any one of their names is brought up.



Colleeny, I love you. Please know that the Conservatory is always home for you.



You are all in my heart.

With love,

Ruth

I pray that the love of family and friends and the comfort that only God can give will sustain you through this great loss.



Love,

Melanie Green

Dear O'Malley's,



We miss Nicholas. The world won't be quite as good without him. He loved well.



Love your family,



The Richard Chapmans

Dear O'Malley Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your memories of Nick and your love for each other give you strength during this difficult time.

Dear O Malley family,

Your son will be missed not just by his family but also by anyone who knew him. When we picked up our daughter Danielle after the service, I saw the incredible sadness in her eyes, and in all of his friends who had united together to pay tribute to his young life, He was so loved. No words can ever be sufficient, but always know that our Lord and savior is our tower of hope. I never met Nick's family but Nick would always talk about them with such love, and our daughter always felt so welcome in your home. I pray that the lord gives you peace and strength in this time of sadness. May you find comfort in knowing your son knew the Lord and served him, and is now rejoicing in his presence.



Oscar Reyes

Dear Tom, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen:



Just only meeting Nicholas a few days ago I was saddened by your loss. May the warm memories of Nicholas comfort you in this difficult time, and help you be at peace. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.



Kumi’s Dad

Dear O'malley family,



I'm very sorry for your loss. I knew Nick in high school and he was always such a great friend. I will never forget such a great person like him. I owe most of my great high school memories to him and I'm sure others can say the same. All we can do now is remember the great times with him. I wish your family the best. Nick will always be in my prayers.

Sincerely, Beatriz

Dear O'mally's

I thank the Lord for the man in which Nick became because of the love that you shared with one another as a family. I will miss him dearly and I lift you up in prayer.

To the O'Malley Family:



My heart is filled with such sadness for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are will you.

Our children, being double first cousins (Tommy, you and I being brothers and Virginia and Beverly being sisters) makes our children closer than any of the other (what is it about 1,700) O'Malley children. With Nick a role model for our children and their very special cousin, they are having a rough time right now,as we are. My prayers are with the 4 of you many,many times each day and they, forever, will be.

Virginia and Tommy, you are both an inspiration for parents everywhere (BUT, THIS IS NOT NEW TO YOU, AS I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE-YOU HAVE DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB RAISING YOUR CHILDREN. and all the words in this book and words from everyone at your home on Monday are also a testamony to that. Our Heavenly father is VERY happy with you for how you have handled your responsability in raising your 3 blessings.

I was very serious on Monday when I said that EVERYONE who knew Nick LOVED him. Tommy and Virginia, THEY DID.

I love you both, I love your girls and I will forever miss and love Nick.



Uncle Pat

I just wanted to let you know that Nick will be missed up here at Wake. He was one of the first people I met around here, and I'll never forget him.

I received a call a few days ago from a fellow Gables High grad about Nick. I was taken aback, for it is unusual to hear of one of your peers passing away. Although I never knew Nick personally, I knew of him and how he filled the room with sunshine wherever he went. He was such a positive person, and using myself as an example, touched more people than he will ever know. The O'Malley family should be proud to have had such an amazing son, and know that he made a difference in the world. May Nick's uplifting spirit live on in the heart of every person he touched.

Tom, Virginia, Kelly, and Colleen,



I can't seem to remember a time that Nicolas didn't have a smile on his face. I remember babysitting your children and having the best time running around your house playing hide and go seek. As Nicolas got older he became only sweeter. He and Bobby were like two peas in a pod and I can't imagine how the world will get along without him. I wish I could have come down for the Memorial but I was praying for you all throughout the day and will continue to do so. I will miss him as I am sure everyone will.

Dear Tommy, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen:

Please know that you and your family are in our daily thoughts and prayers. We will deeply miss Nic - his hugs, smiles and beautiful red hair. The world is a better place for having known him and loved him. May your strong faith in God continue to comfort you

and give you strength during this difficult time. (Britt and Cara send their love to you as well.)

Dear Mr. And Mrs. O Malley,



Nick was my daughter's best friend. He was such a joy, as well as an amazing friend to my daughter Danielle. When he would come over he would always be so willing to talk to us about his trip to England and about how happy he was about his sister's graduation. Every time he would pick up the girls at my house he would always tell them how pretty they looked, and how lucky he felt to take them out. He was full of life. As a mother and as a woman of faith, I will continue to pray for your family in this time of great grief. I pray that the Lord gives you his wisdom in the days ahead. Nick will be missed.



Cory Reyes

Tom, Virginia, Kelly & Colleen I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your beloved Nicholas.

To: The O'Malley Family



I had the pleasure of meeting Nicholas in 1997 when I started dating Bobby Bryan's father. I got to know Nick well over the past seven years and I have many wonderful memories of him. Simply put, there was never a dull moment when Nick was around and there were always good times to be had. The special bond shared by Bobby and Nicholas is a shining example of what true friendship is all about.



Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.



Elizabeth

I was able to attend the service for Nicholas, and moved by hearing of Nick's great nature. Our 10-year-old son, Austin made it clear to us that Nick was the most fun at Bible School at church. He said he will never forget him. Nick touched many lives and still does. May God be there with you through these tough times. When times seem impossible to bear is when God picks us up and holds us tightly in His arms.

Tommy, Viginia, Kelly & Colleen,

I know you are hurting and I'm making a committment to pray for you everyday for a very long time. I'm praying that God will really bless all of you and keep you safe (Tom, I know you are a little worried about this.) I am praying that God will turn this tragedy into a great thing. I know you can't fathom that and right now, but anything is possible with God.



Your incredible faith and strength were an inspiration to Bobby, my mom, and myself as we watched you go through this the last several days.



Know that you all did an excellent job raising Nicholas. It's rare to find people with the love that Nicholas had for others. I've never known anyone with such a cheerful and fun personality either.



I don't know if anyone out there knows how much this family took care of my son Bobby for the last 12 years since I moved to New York. Everytime Bobby was down there visiting his father, the O'Malley's drove him around, fed him, let him stay there on many nights, were his spiritual leaders away from home, and were like a second family. I can never thank you for your incredible generousity and the impact your family has made on my son. I am honored to have you all as friends.



I am so sorry about what happened but I am so thankful that Bobby had such an extraordinary best friend all these years. Nic's one of those 'once in a lifetime' kind of friends. Nicholas has always been there for Bobby. I will always miss him and his sweet nature.



Love, Melinda



Anyone that is out there reading this, please make a committment to pray for Tommy, Virginia, Kelly and Colleen each day. If you want to help them, this is the best thing you can do.

Dear O'Malley family:



I know that there is little I can say that will lessen the sense of loss you feel, but hopefully I can at least communicate the significant impact of your son's all-too-brief time here on earth. Certainly it was always a pleasure to know your family during the time we lived in Miami, but I never realized how much impact you would continue to have on us through Nick's long-term friendship with our oldest son, Bobby. I have not maintained any one friendship through all the seasons of my life, so the fact that Bobby managed to remain true best friends with Nick from age 4 to 22, despite our moving to New York 12 years ago, is a testimony to the kind of guy Nick was. In addition, the five of you were like a second family to Bobby during his frequent visits to Miami, and that meant a lot to Bobby, and to us. I still remember Nick covered in shaving cream during one of Bobby's early birthday parties. He was one of the most upbeat, spirited kids I ever knew, and although I'm at a loss to understand why his time had to end so soon, I know that his contagious spirit was such that he was able to touch a lot of people's lives in a very short amount of time.



I'm glad Melinda and Bobby were able to be down there this weekend; I wish I could have been there too. Please know that I have been thinking about you and praying for you, and will continue to do so. The one thing that takes some of the sting from this tragedy is knowing that Nick knew his Lord, and that his family does, too. May God bless you and give you peace as you work through your grief.

Tom & Virginia,



I was so sadden to hear of your loss of Nicholas, and I just wanted you to know that I have been praying for God's strength for you all.



A friend in Christ,

Joe McAdams (Tres)

MY DEAR NICK,

You were the best friend any girl can have. Words cannot express the sense of loss I feel. We shared so much, I close my eyes and pray that all the memmories and each detail remain vibrant in me. You taught me to laught at myself, and mean it. You taught me how to parallel park, and get away without paying for meters.You taught me how to sail, and eat eggs with spaghetti sauce. I will always remember the warm summer days we spent together, You will always have a special place in my heart. I pray to God that my life as well as the life of all the ones who loved you serve as a testimony to your warm and loving heart. Your fire remains burnning in all of our hearts...TILL WE MEET AGAIN MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, MY DEAR FRIEND.



YOUR FRIEND

DANIELLE

You are all in our thoughts and prayers! God bless.

Jana and Brett

Dear Virginia and Tom, someone pointed out to me after Teddy passed on, that the 23rd Psalm says that Death is but a "shadow", "yea, tho I walk ....through.....valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, because thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me, ("to me, this is also huge, the rod and staff are there), also "surely" goodness and mercy will follow me all days of my life and I will dwell in house of Lord forever.......This verse has given me enlightenment and "transcendence" (to surpass or go beyond the finite limits) about what happened.......I had never noticed before that death was called but a "shadow".....imagine..I hope it comforts your family as well, as we walk "through...(we're not stuck there) in the valley" until we all meet on the other side. When recited ..."very slowly"....it has to be done slowly, the whole 23rd Psalm fills the heart whose verses covers every area of life...He restoreth my soul..Love and Prayers, Jan Novar

Dear Nicholas:

Your darling happy face has not left my mind since I learned of your passing. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel in my heart. I was so blessed to have met you, your sunny disposition and your energy used to brighten my day at Track practice. I could just see you coming into my classroom at the end of the day just to say hello, putting your head on my shoulder and glancing at me to give me a big ol' smile. You will be dearly missed!

To your parents, siblings and extended family: I will always keep you in my prayers! Nicholas was an excellent human being, always willing to give you a little joy and bliss!

With much love,

Maria E. Fernandez

Foreign Language Teacher and former Track Coach.

Coral Gables Senior High

To the O'Malley family...



I knew Nick very breifly and met Nick a few times during Encounter at church. From the brief time I spent with him, I can tell he was a very loveing and caring son, brother, christian and friend. I hope you can be comforted by the fact that Nick is now with our loving Lord and Savior and is giving Jesus a great big hug right now. I can tell Nick touched the hearts of eveyone he knew and I only wish I could have gotten to know him better. My heart goes out to you, and especially my freind Colleen. We will all see Nick up in heavan one day, and get a great big hug at the door.

I met Nick in Kings Christian so long ago. He was always such a sweet guy and always had a smile! I never see him, and just a month ago I saw him at church while he was in Miami visiting. I'm glad I was able to see him and talk to him one last time. My condolences to the family and I'm glad God is in the picture. With love, Sarah Llano

Dear O'Malley Family:



We grieve with you as you mourn the loss of your precious son and brother Nicholas, and we pray that God's perfect love will embrace each of you closely with His peace, comfort and strength. Know that you do not walk through this valley alone, and that you are always in our thoughts and prayers.



Much love,

May God grant you peace through this difficult time.

nick. To let you know that down here in South America you will never be forgotten. As a good friend, fun to hang around with, i never had a sad moment when i spent time with you......much love Daniela

Dear O'Malleys,

The Memorial Service at the church was a proper send off for Nick. You must have been comforted by the attendance. It was a testimony to the kind of person that was Nicholas and the wonderful family that you are. The love that you demonstarte for one another is inspiring. You all will be in my prayers.



Jane Silva and Bruce Silva.

Dear Tom, Virginia, Kelley, Colleen, and the extended O'Malley Family,



My heart breaks for you as you mourn the loss of your precious son. Tom, I will never forget the look on your face the day you announced to the UBC congregation that Nick had been born! Your face was beaming with awe and joy found in the new, miraculous life of a child. I was privledged to watch Nick and his siblings grow up at UBC and am grateful that our congregation was full of wonderful, giving parents like the O'Malleys. Tom and Virginia, you have reached out to not only your children, but those of others, including my daughter who was in your Sunday School class years ago. Remember Eagle Bird? Your loving commitment made a positive impact on her life, so I am certain you blessed Nick beyond imagination. May God wrap his arms around you and hold you close to him as you grieve the loss of your son, brother, friend. I pray that your burdens will lighten with time and that you will look back on Nick's life and time here on earth not with pain, but sweet recollection.

Tom & Virg. Just finished taking a tour of Nick's web site. How special that was. I especially loved the Colorado picture on horseback. It seems I missed knowing a very special young man. love to you both. Later Diane Wood.

I Am So Sorry For Your Loss. Your Family Will Be In My Thoughts and Prayers During This Difficult Time.

DEAR O'MALLEY FAMILY,



WE ONLY MET RECENTLY WHILE TAKING OUR CHILDREN, COLLEEN AND JORDAN, TO UNIVERSITY OF DENVER FOR THE BEGINNING OF THEIR FRESHMEN YEAR. OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY OVER YOUR LOSS AND YOU WILL BE A PART OF OUR PRAYERS TODAY AND IN THE DAYS TO COME.



BLESSINGS,



THE HOWARD FAMILY, CORAL GABLES

JORDAN HOWARD, UNIVERSITY OF DENVER

Tom and Virginia, my heart breaks for you. Watching your children grow up at UBC and seeing Nicholas so full of life has been a blessing to me. My family (Cindy Hill Williams and Tara Hill)sends you our love and our prayers. May God our Comfort comfort you as only He can. In Him, Nancy Lanway

We are so saddended to here about dear Nicholas. We will remember his charming smile and his creative gifts. May God wrap His arms around your family as he holds Nicholas in His.

Dear Virginia, Tom, Kelly & Colleen,

I am truly grieved for your loss of Nicholas. I pray God's great peace, comfort and grace for your family at this difficult time.

Josh and I send our love to all of the O'Malley family at this time of tragedy. Nick was the greatest:filling every room he entered with joy,humor and anticipation of something special to come. He will be greatly missed.

You're all constantly being lifted up in prayer during these hard times. I pray your hearts will be comforted knowing you will see him again. I'm sorry

To the O'Malley Family,

I offer to you my thoughts and prayers for your great loss.

O'Malley family:

May God comfort you with his presence, his hope and love today.

We join your family in your grief.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May Jesus Christ, the God of peace be your strength.

Dear Tom & Virginia: I remember babysitting for your three beautiful children when I was in middle school. Nicholas was such a spirited and fun child. I'm sorry that after I left for college, I didn't get to see him turn into a young man. I can't begin to imagine the kind of grief you're experiencing, but I send you, Kelly & Colleen my heartfelt prayers.

Dear Tom & Virginia & Colleen & Kelly,

There are no words that can adequately express the sorrow we feel for you concerning the death of your beloved son Nicholas. We will pray for God to surround you with His loving arms as you face the days to come.

Nick was always a cool guy and a lot of fun to talk to. Whether he was being silly trying to dress as angel at Pageant, or just chilling out talkin' to people at one of Jena and Richard's football parties, Nick was much loved by all of us, and we could always count of him to bring a smile to our faces. We will miss him dearly.

-Catherine, Michael, and Patrick Dunlap-

To all of the O'Malleys:



We bow, crying with you, for the loss of Nicholas's physical presence with you. I had a wonderful conversation with Nick regarding his England trip and studies. They had a real impact on him to be there and he was glad he went.



May the God of ALL comfort, comfort you with His presence, His love, and His hope in these days, and the future ones, for years to come. He will be missed by many, many people, starting with his beloved family.



In Him,

The Hernandez-Morales family sends its heartfelt condolences to the O'Malley's in this time of grief. Rocio, who studies in Spain and who was in school with nick from earliest youth, broke down when she was told of the loss, and indeed the members of our family who knew Nicholas are filled with shock and sorrow at his passing. We will remember Nick fondly, ever the clever young man who played good-hearted pranks on his teachers and was always around with a witty comment and friendly smile. Losing such a truly good human being before their time is an overwhelming tragedy, and we join the O’Malley’s in their grief.

You will be missed!!!!

Twenty-two years you helped make

earth a happy and joyful place with

your wonderful smile, your beautiful red hair and your zest

for life.

Nickelby, You are going to be missed dearly, not just by me, but by everyone else who knows you.



Goodby NIC, Love you,Uncle Timmy

Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick's family and friends.

May he rest in peace.

Nick was a genuinely kind, sweet loving guy. Though my encounter with him was brief, his vivacious personality will forever remain in my memory as i remember conversations we shared. I won't forget him nor his smile and how special he made me feel. May his soul live eternally on in Heaven with God.

Tom, Virginia, I am so sorry to hear about Nicholas. You and your family are in my prayers. I wish I could be there for the memorial service tomorrow. Please know that I will be there with you in spirit.

Nicholas will forever remain in our hearts and prayers. We will miss him.

I love you Nicholas and I will miss you with all my heart.
Love,
Your Dad

Tommy, Virginia, Kelly, and Colleen,

My heart just broke when I received the phone call about Nick.

I feel like I have known your family forever, and have watched Nick grow up in the church...such a shock. Please know that you all are foremost in my prayers, that I am lifting you daily as you make your way through this tragedy. I know it gives us all comfort to know that Nick was a Christian and rests in the Lord's kingdom.

I am so sorry.

Greetings Beloved Family of Nicholas: My arms reach out to each of you as you go through the channels of experiencing the absence of one so close. Words are few and meaningless when our hearts are heavy with the missing of our loved one. With fall before us, and summer soon to be forgotten it's a time for change. (Seemingly to be what those that are left behind will do.) As you unfold your treasured memories of yesterday I know there'll be those that are valued and held dear to each of you in its own unique way. May the tears that flow be not of sorrow, but for the moment to release your pain. I can only say in my heart of hearts that the love of a child who followed the Christ Child’s teachings and being obedient to his word is far more than most can hold a candle to. I remember so well, how excited Nicholas appeared during preparation for pageant each year at UBC and how proud his parents were to have him as their Son. God Speed Through Life's Journey. Joyously Remembering "ALL" of YOU,

Bonnie King-Moran/wrh

I would like to send my prayers out to The O'Malley family. We will miss Nick very much, and we know he is in a safer place now.

Tom & Virginia,

My heart is heavy and sorrowful. It will never again be the same . I don't have the words right now. Only God's love is sufficient.

Yours in Christ
