Nikki, I found out a year after you had passed after I had moved away about what happened. It was a sad day for me and every time I think about it, it still does. I met you in middle school and we didn’t always see eye to eye, but I think we had the understanding of picking on each other. I feel like High school changed and you and I talked more, we got to talk more. Wished we would have kept in touch after High School. You will always be missed and I hope you know that you are never forgotten. May you be resting easy in paradise.

How are ya Nik? I went to see Man of La Mancha today. It was good, but it was really weird. I kept thinking about how much you hated your costume and how they made you sing in a lower key. It was making me laugh all through the show, but then when the Padre started singing the Psalm I remembered how much you loved singing that and how beautiful you sounded and I just started crying. I haven't really been able to stop since then. I miss you so much. There are days when I ok and I know that you're happy. Then there are days where it hurts so much I can barely breathe. I feel like the only person that I can really talk to about it is 3,000 miles away. No one else wants to talk about it. Everyone is just trying to forget about it. I can't even talk to Adam. He just doesn't understand. I don't know.. it's just been hard. There's memories everywhere. It really sucks... to say the least. Please visit again soon. Love you!!

My heart goes out to NIkki's family. I lost my sister in a car accident over 2 years ago. Nothing ever makes it better, but it does get bearable. Just hold onto those wonderful memories of her and keep her memory alive. I knew Nikki all through high school and worked with her at Mountain Mikes. I was even lucky enough to hang out with her after we graduated. She was and is a truly amazing person with so much talent. I am truly blessed to have had her as a friend and I will cherish every memory. Rachel, if you need to talk, I'm here for you. Don't hesitate to e-mail me if you want.

I was taking some time to sit and think of you when i remembered the time you broke your leg. you and i both had way too much fun on those skate boards! I miss playing with the wagons you were the only one big enough to pull me, -sigh- those were the days....And when we use to go to the delta and hangout at the park.... ya we had a wonderful childhood and at least we have that to hold on to.

Thinking of you....

Nikki,

I can't begin to tell you what an impact you have had on my life. I grew up with you in girl scouts and had the pleasure to be your friend in high school as well. You are an amazing, beautiful woman, and I will miss you incredibly.

nikki,

this past week has been quit difficult for me. i so miss you. i wish we were still in highschool, at least than i didn't ever have to worry that r friendship would have to come to an end. i think of you quit oftenly and tell everyone about the great times we shared. friday i called erika. i invited her over to my party and i was thinking about how you both were going to come to my last party. wish you could have been there. i sure miss you. thanks for coming to me in my sleep to reassure me that your in a better place. please make sure to tell kandi that i said hi and to take good care of sophie for me. you'll always b in my heart nikki. Erika and i plan on getting together soon to catch up on the past. Please go visit her to comfort her as you have comforted me. She's having a tough time. we sure all miss you and love you. take care my angel in heaven!

Hey Nik, how's heaven? Things have been crazy here without you. We all miss you soooooooooo much. It's still so surreal to say that I went to your funeral. I guess it will all always be surreal. Jen, Mary, and I got that tattoo you wanted on your foot. I'm sure you were there with us when we did it. It hurt so bad! I kept thinking about how you would have been really proud of me for doing it. Everytime something funny happens I think about calling you and telling you about it, then I realize that I can't do that. I don't think I will ever be able to listen to Beautiful, Stairway to Heaven or I'll Be ever again without crying. I'll never watch The Babysitter's Club again without thinking of you. Mary and I hung out last night with a bunch of Adam's friends. I kept thinking about how much fun you would've been having, and how much you would've been laughing at us. I miss you. Check out your grave today cuz me and Mary are putting something special there today. I love you. See ya around.

I AM

Nichole Nordeman



Pencil marks on the wall,

I wasn't always this tall

You scattered some monsters from

beneath my bed

You watched my team win

You watched my team lose

You watched when my bicycle went down again

And when I was weak, unable to speak

Still I could call You by name

And I said, Elbow, Healer, Superhero

Come if You can

You said I AM



Only sixteen, life is so mean

What kind of curfew is at 10pm?

You saw my mistakes

And watched my heart break

Heard when I swore I'd never love again

And when I was weak unable to speak

Still I could call You by name

And I said Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper

Be my best friend

You said I AM



The winds of change and circumstance

blow in and all around us

So we find a foothold that's

familiar

And bless the moments we feel you

nearer



When life had begun, I was woven and spun

You let the angels dance around the throne

And who can say when, but they'll dance again

When I am free and finally headed home

I will be weak, unable to speak

Still I will call You by name

Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer

Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer

Lord and King, Beginning and the End



I AM

Yes, I AM

Philippians Chapter 2 instructs us: ..."in humility consider others better than ourselves, to look not only to our interests, but also the interests of others, and to have an attitude like that of Jesus Christ." Nickie was a remarkable example of all these qualities. I remember doing a play with her in high school ("Tartuffe"),and anytime things would be edgy and stress would overcome us all, she was always there with a cool head and a huge smile. I have never known anyone to be so enthusiastic about life as Nickie was. You will be missed, but the angels are rejoicing that you are finally home. Thank you God for allowing us the time we did have with Nickie.

Nikki was truly a shining star. I feel so lucky to have known such a beautiful, caring and amazingly talented woman. Growing up with Nikki, we both shared a passion for acting and I am so fortunate that I had the chance to work and perform with someone as gifted and enthusiastic as her. She has given me so many great memories from performing a dance routine at my 12th birthday party to performing a song from Chicago at Freedom's talent show senior year. She will really be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Thanks for all the great memories Nikki...you will forever be missed.

XOXO, Jen

I Want You To Know

by Angela





A brief moment of darkness

was all that I knew,

before Heaven's Gate

came into my view.



Loved ones and friends

I had missed for many years,

welcomed me with open arms

and many happy tears.



All the hurt, fear and pain

that I have ever known,

is gone from my life,

I am finally home.



I gazed upon the Lord's

sweet smiling face,

and for the first time in my life

I knew and felt His grace.



I know that you miss me,

but please dry your eyes.

I will always be watching and loving you

from my home in the sky.



A cool breeze on your face,

a touch of light rain,

I will send as a reminder

that we will be reunited again.



Life on earth is but one

brief moment in time,

I am finally home,

Eternity is mine.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Its loveliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness, but instead will keep

a bower for us and a sleep

full of sweet dreams...

I don't know what to say.... She was my best friend, a shining star, a sister. I grew up with her in Oakley, we had so much fun together every day. Whenever I needed to talk to someone she was always there to help me get through it. When I moved away it was the end of the world for me. I cried the whole way here, in fear that I would never see her again. Ever since then I have tried to keep in contact. I will always remember you Nikki... I love you and may you forever rest in peace...

Love,

Chris Hubbard

Nikki,

I will never forget our time on Chandon ct..We were always making up some new club! (save the earth) Looking back we laughed at how stupid it was, but I will always remember that as one of the best parts of my life. You always made me smile and that's how i'll think of you. I'll think of you as a shining light, my beautiful star! I love you!

Love,

Our condolences and prayers to Nickie's family. We were neighbors living across the street in Oakley. We thought Nickie was a very sweet girl who had lots going for her. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Take care and God bless you in this sad time.

Growing up, we were the two Nikki/Niki's. Working at Mt. Mike's Pizza with her are times I will never forget. It was fun and she was a good friend to me throughout high school. I will never forget her smile. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
