Nicholas was going to graduate from High Point Regional High School in a few weeks. He took great joy in school and all genres of music.

He was cherished by numerous cousins.

To My Good Friends Rich and Wendy,
I was saddened to have just learned of Nicholas' loss. Although I had never met Nicholas I felt I knew him through our converstions over the years. The devotion your entire family had for Nicholas was evident during those conversations. Nicholas was fortunate to have such devoted parents and sibblings having received more love and affection in his short life than many children receive in a lifetime. While Nicholas will be terribly missed, the joy he brought others will never fade. We love you guys and will keep all of you in our prayers.

I learned about your loss today, of your son who was taken home,
To a place where our Great Creator lives ,and where we started from
My reaction was instant grief and pain, for Rick, Wendy Joseph and Annette
Then I thought of his grandpa who he never even met
Its in Heaven now with grandpa Frank, and a time to become friends
A time that was missed here on earth , from a place that always ends
Frank was such a loving man , and had a great big smile
He himself was only here ,for such a short short while
But now in heaven up above ,I know he greeted Nick with love
Not only with his smile but with a great big hug
Grandpa Frank was such a marshmallow, and will spoil Nick a lot
His kindness compassion and his heart ,will continue what you can not
No one can say words ,or completely feel all your pain
But there is comfort in knowing, that you will all be together again
Rick and Wendy you were Blessed ,with a family full of Love
With three children and a lot of challenges and a Plan from God above.

Giacobbe Family,
I saw Annette today, after many years of falling out of touch with you all, at Sparta Day. She told me of the passing of her older brother Nick and I was so sad to hear the news. Please know that all of you will be in my prayers tonight and have been in my thoughts all afternoon. I am sure that Nicholas went straight to heaven because surely God needed another angel in a hurry.

Nicholas will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss our Tuesday evening visits and his beautiful smile. May you know that I will always cherish the times I had with him. He always made me laugh with his classic comments. May God bless you and your family. Love Mary Ann (Andover )

Nicholas always had a special place in my heart and that will never go away. Although I have not seen Nicholas in a long time I hope that he had always remembered me. My deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends.

Dear Giacobbe Family,
We have nice memories of Nicholas taking his stroll around the neighborhood. He was always ready for our high five when we would pass by with our dogs in tow! and his warm smile was contagious and a reflection of the happiness he felt while getting fresh air and sunshine. We will miss seeing him.

I remember NIcky from Mr Roco's class. He was "the Kid" that every one knew and he knew back. He loved people and will be missed. May God bless you in these dark days, but may your memories of your angel bring a smile to your face, a song in your heart, and love in your voice

I will always remember Nicky in Mr Rocco's class. He loved being there, he loved riding the bus, his music, barney, and sitting in his wheelchair at the paino. The look on his face when his dog walked into the room was always priceless. He tought us to be happy and not the sweat the small stuff, his family cared for him and now an angel is in heaven to watch, love, and guide his parents, and siblings

TO Nicky's family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Nicky and how much he loved his Barny movies, how he loved to go to school, and how he would sit in front of your piano and play. He had wonderful angels looking over him during his life, and now you and your family are blessed with a heavenly angle to guide you through your life
