I am deeply saddened to hear about Nicolas. I was fortunate to have had taught Nick in 5th grade at EAMS. He quickly became one of my favorite students. I will always remember his grit and determination even when things didn´t come easy, his ability to compromise with his classmates, sense of humor, kindness and compassion towards his peers. Nick´s warm smile was kind and sincere and he had such a gentle heart. He was so proud of his family, especially Demitri and his sisters. Nicolas was everyone´s friend and I will never forget him.

May the memories of Nicolas carry you through this unimaginable time.
May God bless your sweet son.
Sincerely, "Miss Noto"
