She was the niece of Roland and Cheryl Pinette of Berlin, NH, Susan and Mike McAllister of Poland, ME, David Mackintosh of Newton, MA and Brian and Kathryn Mackintosh of Needham, MA; and many cousins who loved her dearly.

Lisa my heart goes out to your family. Nicole was a very special little girl. I have so many fond memories of her riding the carousel, then when she was big enough the crazy teacup she loved so much. You all are an amazing family and Nicole was so blessed to have you all by her side. You were also blessed to have such an amazing little girl. My prayer and thought are with your family.

Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
