I am amazed how people who don't even know you or your family have cried and been broken hearted for days. It is a testament to the goodness of people and the love they freely give as well as the special couple you Nick and Marjorie must be. My heart is shattered for you both but I want to repeat what I said on your Facebook page: Your little guardian angel will be forever at your side until the day you meet again in heaven. Let that promise bring you peace and strength. Love and blessings, Maria Fuiano

I know there are no words that could ease your pain at this time and the outpouring of love could be to much to even bare with at the moment I can't even begin to imagine what you feel. I literally get goose bumps every time I ride past the studio I have emptiness in my heart for your family. No one ever deserves to feel such pain. You both are such amazing people I pray God helps you find the strength to pull threw these tragic times. We may not understand it now with pain so deep, but God had a more special plan for Baby Nick, one of a greater being than here on earth. May your little angel bless you and lead you to the comfort you need. God Bless
May 15, 2017
Dear Nick, Marjorie and Maddy:
We have been totally devastated since Friday, we just cant believe such tragedy happens to such good human beings. Please know that we have been praying for you and we hope that baby Nicholas' happy memories help you cope with this horrible pain. Love you all Frankie, Lourdes and Family Perez

What a Beautiful & Good Souled Baby Boy... Too Beautiful for this Earth !
May your Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and family know that there are many people like me who did not know you in this life that cry that you gained your "Angel's Wings" so quickly and we hurt that we cannot lessen the pain for those who loved you so.
Being a Mother myself I know that Words will not and can not be of any comfort or relief in any way .....I just wish your Mommy & Daddy didn't have to say "See you later Little Man" so soon.
Please know that there are people out here thinking of you tonight!

Nick and Marjorie,
I wish you strength in this time of life. The darkness will lose this battle, eventually, but every now and again it will feel like only a candle's light is fighting back against it and at any moment will give out. However, darkness has its own strength - loneliness. The light is built on friendships and relationships and right now you're gonna feel isolated and alone. Don't. It's going to be hard to rely on family and friends, especially your wife. Stay with them. Stay together. Stay strong. In the end, that candle will become a roaring fire filled with the greatest memories of your life. Darkness be warned, it's time will come to end.
Doreen Ippoliti
May 14, 2017
