Dear Rosella and family. I am so sad to hear of Nick's passing. You are both such a wonderful part of my memories growing up down the street! I loved watering the plants when you were away and loved catching up to you on one of your walks. I know the past years have been challenging for you both but what an inspiration you both are! Mrs. Lalich...rest assured your dear sweet Mr. Lalich is at peace now thanks to your loving care. I am sorry I cannot attend but I am currently on a business trip in Seattle. I will see you soon Mrs. Lalich...all my love and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Nick passing from this life. He was such a wonderful man and I have only the fondest memories of him coming over to our house and visiting with us. My dad, George Paulson thought the world of his cousin Nick and it was so great that they got to spend some time together during their retirement years. My dad put him to work but they seem to love their time together and I will always remember our visits to Omaha and seeing Nick at the house. When he could no longer drive over, he would call the house every day to talk to dad. Just amazing how thoughtful, generous and kind. Sending love to Rosella, Daisy and the rest of the family.
