Your daughter shared with me a fond memory of you today at school. She said that you were a great violinist and she was using your instrument to play on in your memory. Madison is such a wonderful young lady and if you were here on Earth you would be so proud of what she has accomplish.
May this candle be a light that shines on forever.
God Bless this Family!

Hi mommy this is your daughter Madison.I really love +miss you right now. If I could have one wish the one and only wish I could ever be granted I just want you back in this earth again.Sadly I know that will never happen. My mommy was the luckiest mommy in the world. I still have some of my mommys shoes and clothes. The thing that matters most to me is her flute it is real sterling silver and the mouth piece is real gold. I know my mommy is walking beside me every step of the way even in the hardest moments. I will see her again one day reunited in heaven together. My mommy and me shared a really strong bond with each other. A saying my mommy and me used to say was, I love you as far as the east is to the west and bigger than the sky. I really love her that much.

As next door neighbors to her parents in Lexington I always remember Nicole sitting on the back stoop with her dog Cocoa and playing her flute. She grew into a beautiful woman and a loving mother and she will be missed by all who came into her life. Our sympathies go out to Darrell and Brenda, our neighbors, and to Nicole's children, Madison and Jaydon. May God be with you during this terrible time.
