I am so sorry of Nicki's passing and extend my sincere condolences to the family. I had the distinct pleasure of working with her when she worked at NADEP. She was a true consummate lady and a true professional. It was my pleasure to work with her and to get to know her. When at work when our conversations drifted off of work, it always came back to one subject - our families. I kept her up to date on my two children and she kept me up to date on hers. I never met her daughters but I saw plenty of pictures and I can assure you of one thing, their mother loved them dearly and was extremely proud of them. I see from the obituary that both girls now have families of their own and I feel they were blessed to have had such a role model for a mom.
