To the family of Nikki:

We were shocked, saddened and heartbroken to hear of Nikki’s passing, and although we can’t begin to know how you feel, we are sorry for your loss. Nikki was a beautiful young woman and the loss of one so young is heartbreaking.

“If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again." "Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow."

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
